Question

Pip, David and Bridget share £60 in a ratio 1:2:2. How much money does each person get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pip gets £12

David gets £24

Bridget gets £24

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 1 : 2 : 2 is Pip : David : Bridget

Add all the numbers in the ratio together.

2+2+1=5.

Divide 60 by 5.

60÷5=12

Multiply 12 by each section in the ratio.

1×12 : 2×12 : 2×12

12 : 24 : 24.
