Question

gordon, Henry and sarah share £48 in a ratio 2:3:1. how much money does each person get?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the money to be shared = 2 : 3 : 1

Total part = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6

Gordon's share = (2/6) of 48

                         $=\frac{2}{6}*48\\\\=2*8$

                        = £ 16

Henry's share = (3/6) of 48

                       $=\frac{3}{6}*48\\\\=3*8$

                       = £ 24

Sarah's share = (1/6) of 48

                      = 1 * 8

                      = £ 8
