Question

If $350 was shared in the ratio 2:3 , the smaller share is?​

Answer 1

Answer: $140

In the ratio 2:3, 2 is the smaller number. 350 is the total so lets find the total in the ratio as well, 2+3 which is 5. Now 2 is the smaller share or number so lets use proportion to find it.

Let's think the smaller share as, " x "

x/350 = 2/5

x = 2/5 * 350

x = 2 * 70

x = 140

The smaller share is $140

Answer 2

Question:-

If $350 was shared in the ratio 2:3 , the smaller share is?

Answer:-

The smaller share is $140

Explanation:-

Let the shares be 2x and 3x.

=> 2x + 3x = 350

=> 5x = 350

=> x = 350/5

=> x = 70

• 2x = 2×70 = $140
• 3x = 3×70 = $210
