A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. Y will get 24 Naira.

What is a Ratio?

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

Given for every 1 Naira that Z get,Y gets 2 Naira and for every 3 Naira that Y gets X gets 4 Naira. Therefore, the ratio of z to y can be written as,

Z/Y = 1/2

Multiplying both by 3,

Z / Y = 3 / 6

The ratio of Y to X can be written as,

Y/X = 3 / 4

Now, the ratio of the three together can be written as,

X : Y : Z = 8 : 6 : 3

Further we can write,

8a + 6a + 3a = 68

17a = 68

a = 4

As Y gets 6a, therefore, he will get,

Y = 6a = 6(4) = 24 Naira

Hence, Y will get 24 Naira.
