You asked:

Share \(39\) in the ratio \(5 : 2\)

MathBot Answer:

\(\frac{195}{7} \approx 27.86, \frac{78}{7} \approx 11.14\)


Add the numbers in the ratio up to find the total number of parts in the ratio. \[5 + 2 = 7\]

Divide the number being shared by the total number of parts. \[\frac{39}{7}\]

Then multiply this number by each part of the ratio to reach the final answer. \[\frac{39}{7} \cdot 5, \frac{39}{7} \cdot 2\]\[\frac{195}{7} \approx 27.86, \frac{78}{7} \approx 11.14\]
