You asked:

Share \(72\) in the ratio \(3 : 5\)

MathBot Answer:

\(27, 45\)

Add the numbers in the ratio up to find the total number of parts in the ratio. \[3 + 5 = 8\]

Divide the number being shared by the total number of parts. \[\frac{72}{8} = 9\]

Then multiply this number by each part of the ratio to reach the final answer. \[9 \cdot 3, 9 \cdot 5\]\[27, 45\]
