Question

Split £10 into the ratio 2 : 3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

£10=2x+3x=5x

x=£10/5=£2

2x=£4

3x=£6

Answer 2

$\texttt{Let the parts be 2x and 3x.}$

$\texttt{A/q}$

$\texttt{\;\;\;\;\;2x+3x = £10}$

$\mathtt{\implies 5x = 10}$

$\mathtt{\implies x = \frac{10}{5}}$

$\mathtt{\implies x = 2}$

$\texttt{So, the first part = 2×2 = £4}$

$\texttt{\& the second part = 3×2 = £6}$
