Answer:

Monika gets £90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve this question

∵ Monika and Robert are Two factory workers

∵ They win the in-house raffle with a prize of £240

∵ Monika and Robert share the prize money in a ratio of 3: 5

→ That means the total of the ratio is equivalent to the value of the prize

∵ The total of the ratio = 3 + 5 = 8

→ By using the ratio method

→  Monika  :  Robert  : Total

→   3           :   5           :   8

→   x           :   y            :   240

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ x × 8 = 3 × 240

∴ 8x = 720

→ Divide both sides by 8

∵ \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{720}{8}

∴ x = 90

∵ x represents the share of Monika

∴ Monika gets £90
