Ratio 3:5:9....added = 17......the largest share will then get 9/17 of the total amount. The largest share will get 54.
So 9/17 of the total money is 54...
9/17x = 54
x = 54 / (9/17)
x = 54 * 17/9
x = 102.....so the total amount of money is 102

the smallest share gets : 3/17 * 102 = 18 <===
the middle share gets : 5/17 * 102 = 30
the largest share gets : 9/17 * 102 = 54

3:5:9

The largest share (9) is $54

Divide 54 with 9

54/9 = 6

a share of (1) = 6

Multiply 6 with 3 (smallest share)

6 x 3 = 18

18 is your answer

hope this helps

mylen [45]

A common misconception in statistics is confusing correlation with causation. If two events are correlated, it merely means that they share the same behaviour over time, but it doesn't imply in any way that those event are related by a common cause, or even worse, that one implies the other.

You can find several (even humorous) counter examples online. For example, if you plot the number of reported pirates assault against the global temperature in the last years, you'll se that temperature is rising (unfortunately...) while pirates are almost disappearing.

One could observe this strong negative correlation and claim that hotter climate has solved the pirate issue. Of course this is a joke, but it explains why you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.
