Question

Divide 480 into the ratio 2:5:3

Answer 1

Ratio 2 = 96

Ratio 5 = 240

Ratio 3 = 144

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ratio : 2+5+3 = 10

Divide 480 among the three ratios

$\frac{2}{10} \times 480 \\ \\ = \frac{960}{10} = 96$

Second ratio

$\frac{5}{10} \times 480 \\ \\ = \frac{2400}{10} = 240$

Third ratio

$\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{480}{1} \\ \\ = \frac{1440}{10} = 144$
