Asked by Milliejay

Answer (3)

Add 3 + 7 = 10

Divide 300 by 10 = 30

Times 30 x 3 = 90

Times 30 x 7 = 210


90 + 210 = 300
your answer is 90 : 210

Ratio is: 3 : 7 it means you have to sum 3 + 7 = 10 Now you have to divide 300 by 10 300/10 = 30 Now multiplay 3 ∗ 30 = 90 and 7 ∗ 30 = 210 so £ 300 in ratio 3 : 7 will be 90 : 210

To divide £300 in a ratio of 3:7, first add the parts of the ratio (3 + 7 = 10). Then divide £300 by 10 to find the value of one part (£30) and multiply by each part of the ratio (3 parts = £90, 7 parts = £210). So, the final amounts are £90 and £210.
