In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

Yuri [45]

Answer: $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In 1 year ,

Linda's parents spend $2400 on cable and internet service.

If they spend the same amount each month, Monthly payment = \dfrac{\text{Total money spent in 1 year}}{\text{Number of months in a year}}

=\dfrac{\$2400}{12}\ \ \ [\text{Number of months in a year}=12]\\\\=\$200

Hence, the resulting monthly change in the family's income = $200
