Question

Thabo and his friends Amon shared a job of cleaning thabo's uncle yard.he paid both of them R400.thabo worked for three hours and
Amon worked for two hours
determine the amount Thabo will receive if they decide to share the R400 in a ratio of 3:2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

R240 is given to Thabo

Step-by-step explanation:

Add both ratios

2 + 3 = 5

Now divide 400 by 5

400 ÷ 5 = 80

Lastly multiply 80 by 3 since Thabo worked for three hours

80 × 3 = 240

And if you want to find how much Amon received

just multiply 80 by 2 since Amon worked for 2 hours

2 × 80 = 160
