Do it yourself GET OFF THIS APPPPP just kidding idk the answer
In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21.
Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21
