I'm not really sure about this math but I tried to answer it for you
1)Convert 11 hours to minutes = 660 minutes. 11 hours x 60 mins=660
2)Add the 18 minutes to 660 =678 minutes
3) 678 divided by 60 mins = 11.3 hours, but we still have the 36 seconds remaining so I didn't exactly divide 678 minutes by 60, but I divided 678.36 by 60 which gave me 11.306 hours.
That's it I truly apologise if this is wrong. But if you figure out the right method please show me and others who may have done it this way or another way, so please share. GOOD LUCK.
The actual amount that needs to be divided = 85
The ratio in which the amount needs to be divided = 2:3:5
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
2x + 3x + 5x = 85
10x = 85
x = 85/10
= 8.5
Then
The ratio in which the number 85 will be divided = 2 * 8.5:3 * 8.5:5 * 8.5
= 17:25.5:42.5
So from the above deduction we can see that the number 85 can be divided in the ratio 17:25.5:42.5
