ann and betty shared a sum of money in the ratio 2:3. Ann received $120. what was betty share

Sagot :

if 2 ratio=$120 then you dividing by 2

1 ratio=$60
she has 3 ratio
$60x3
she shared $180

[tex]\cfrac{\stackrel{Ann}{120}}{\underset{Betty}{b}}~~ = ~~\stackrel{ratio}{\cfrac{2}{3}}\implies 360=2b\implies \cfrac{360}{2}=b\implies 180=b[/tex]
