Question

240g in the ratio 5:3:2​

Answer 1

Answer:

120:72:48

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Whatever the answer is (call it x to begin with), the equation starts as

5x + 3x + 2x = 240

What this means is that when you solve for x the results when multiplied by the ratio, should add to 240

Equation

5x + 3x + 2x = 240

Solution

Combine all the terms on the left.

10x = 240                    Divide by 10

x = 240/10

x = 24

Check

• 5*24 = 120
• 3*24 =  72
• 2*24 =  48
• Total = 240
