Answer:
The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.
Step-by-step explanation:
Division in a ratio of 1:2:3
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
So
The first box will have 1/6 of the marbles.
The second box will have 2/6 = 1/3 of the marbles
The third box will have 3/6 = 1/2 of the marbles.
First box:
One sixth, so:
(1/6)*540 = 540/6 = 90
Second box:
One third, so:
(1/3)*540 = 540/3 = 180
Third box:
One half, so:
(1/2)*540 = 540/2 = 270
The first box will have 90 marbles, the second 180 and the third 270.
