Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let his total money be x.
He spent (3/7)*x of his money.
He gave 1/4(x-3/7x) to his sister.
which is : (1/4)*(4/7)*x = (1/7)*x
Now,
How much money he have in the beginning =
(3/7)*x+(1/7)*x+120=x
(4/7)*x+120=x
120=x-(4/7)*x
120=(3/7)*x
x=120*7/3 [cross multiplication]
x=280.
So, Alex had $280 in the beginning.
ratio 2:3
2 + 3 = 5
185 / 5 = 37
so
37 x 2 = 74
37 x 3 = 111
Answer
185 g in the ratio 2:3 = 74: 111
