You asked:
Share \(175\) in the ratio \(5 : 3\)
MathBot Answer:
\(\frac{875}{8} \approx 109.38, \frac{525}{8} \approx 65.62\)
Add the numbers in the ratio up to find the total number of parts in the ratio. \[5 + 3 = 8\]
Divide the number being shared by the total number of parts. \[\frac{175}{8}\]
Then multiply this number by each part of the ratio to reach the final answer. \[\frac{175}{8} \cdot 5, \frac{175}{8} \cdot 3\]\[\frac{875}{8} \approx 109.38, \frac{525}{8} \approx 65.62\]
