Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

Ratio of Son1 : Son2 = 5 : 3

Let the constant ratio be x

.

STEP 1: Form the equation:

The sum to be divided is 1200

5x + 3x = 1200

..............................................................................................

STEP 2: Solve x:

5x + 3x = 1200

8x = 1200

x = 150

.............................................................................................

STEP 3: Find their shares:

5x = 5(150) = 750

3x = 3(150) = 450

.............................................................................................

Answer: One son gets 750 and the other son gets 450.
