Question

A sum of money was divided between Riaz ad Ali in the ratio of 3:2. Riaz received the larger share. Write the amount each received
a) as a fraction
b) as a percentage

Answer 1

Riaz : Ali
3 : 2

Add the two values; so 3 + 2 is 5

Then 100/5 = 20

So: 20 x 3 = 60
and 20 x 2 = 40

Riaz = 60%
Ali = 40%

Then write 60% and 40% as a fraction:
60% = 3/5 (3 over 5)
40% = 2/5 (2 over 5)

The answers are in bold :)
