This is hard math is hard
Given:
ratio 3:2
amount to split : 2.5
ratio of 3:2 has a total of 5 because 3 + 2 = 5
So 3 is 3/5 of the ratio and 2 is 2/5 of the ratio based on the total.
2.50 is the amount that needs to be distributed using the ratio. It is the total.
3/5 x 2.50 = 1.50
2/5 x 2.50 = 1.00
So, 3:2 is equal to 1.50 : 1.00
The answer is C because it shows you
We know that Ava is paying $2 dollars per week so if L is the money that she owes and t is the number of weeks, and I is the initial debt so we can write an equation like:

Now we can replace the info we have to find the value of I so:

and we solve for I

So the final equation will be:
