Question

Mo and Beth split £48 in the ratio 3:5. How much money does Beth get? Give your answer in pounds (£).​

Answer 1

Answer:

£ 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 3 : 5

Mo's share = 3x

Beth's share = 5x

   Total amount = £ 48

3x + 5x  = 48

        8x  = 48

{Divide both side by 8}

           x = 48/8

           x =  £ 6

Beth's share = 5x

                     = 5*6

                     = £ 30
