Answer 1

Answer:

180 and 120

Step-by-step explanation:

300-x , x

300 - x / x = 12 /8

2400 - 8x = 12x

2400= 20x

x= 120

therefore , 300 -x = 300 - 120 = 180

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to simplify our ratio 12:8 it can be simplified into 3:2

Now we need to add the two numbers in our ratio that means 3+2 = 5

We have now got our denominator so lets put it into fraction form

Amit - 3/5

Nitin - 2/5

Now we need to multiply our fractions with the total amount of Money

Amit's Share - 3/5x300 = Rs. 180

Nitin's Share - 2/5x300 = Rs. 120

Hope this helps
