You asked:

Share \(1500\) in the ratio \(2 : 6 : 4\)

MathBot Answer:

\(250, 750, 500\)


First, simplify the ratio: \[2 : 6 : 4 = 1 : 3 : 2\]

Add the numbers in the ratio up to find the total number of parts in the ratio. \[1 + 3 + 2 = 6\]

Divide the number being shared by the total number of parts. \[\frac{1500}{6} = 250\]

Then multiply this number by each part of the ratio to reach the final answer. \[250 \cdot 1, 250 \cdot 3, 250 \cdot 2\]\[250, 750, 500\]
