Question

Share 185 in the ratio 2:3

Answer 1

Answer:

74:111

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The ratio is 2:3, so if you add it (2+3) it will equal 5.

2. The total is 185, so you divide 5 by 185 (185 / 5) which equals 37.

3. The ratio needs to equal 185 so with the original ratio 2:3 you multiply those numbers by 37 e.g. (37 x 2 = 74) (37 x 3 = 111)

4. The ratio was 2:3 so you need to put it in order 74:111.

Therefore your answer will be 74:111. (Best way to check is to see if the answer adds up to 185 e.g. 74 + 111 = 185
