Question

Divide $500 in these ratios using the unitary method. A. 2:3 B. 3:7 C. 1:1

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 200 is to 300 dollars

B)150 is to 350 dollars

C) 250 is to 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) We want to divide $500 in the ratio 2:3 using the unitary method.

The total ratio is 2+3=5.

This means one unit is $\frac{500}{5}$=$100

Therefore $500 in the ratio 2:3 is 2*100=200 to 3*100=300

Part B) We want to divide $500 in the ratio 3:7 using the unitary method.

The total ratio is 3+7=10.

This means one unit is $\frac{500}{10}$=$50

Therefore $500 in the ratio 3:7 is 3*50=150 to 7*50=350

Part C) We want to divide $500 in the ratio 1:1 using the unitary method.

The total ratio is 1+1=2.

This means one unit is $\frac{500}{2}$=$250

Therefore $500 in the ratio 1:1 is 1*250=250 to 1*250=250
