The document describes two methods for sharing amounts into ratios. The first method involves: (1) adding the individual parts in the ratio to find the total parts, (2) dividing the total amount by the total parts to find the value of one part, and (3) multiplying the values in the ratio by the value of one part. The second method involves taking each part in the ratio, dividing it by the whole, and multiplying by the amount to be shared. Three examples demonstrate sharing $250, 30 mangoes, and $20 between individuals in given ratios.

1. SHARING AMOUNTS INTO
RATIOS

3. Example 1:
Divide $250 in
the ratio 2:3
• Add: Find the total parts by adding the individual
parts in the ratio
• 3+2=5 parts
Divide: Divide the amount by the total number of
parts to find the size of 1 part
• 250/5= $50
And
Multiply: Multiply the Values in the ratio by the size
of one part
Now, 2 🇽 50= $100 and 3 🇽 50= $150
• So, $250 is divided into $100 and $150 respectively

4. METHOD 2

5. How to Solve:
Take each part in the ratio, divide it by the whole and multiply by the given amount that
you want to share.
There are two parts in the ratio 2 and 3. The whole is 5 (2+3)

6. Example 2: Share 30 mangoes in the ratio 3:7
• Add: Find the total parts by adding the individual parts in the ratio
• 3+7=10 parts
Divide: Divide the amount by the total number of parts to find the size of 1 part
• 30/10= 3
And
Multiply: Multiply the Values in the ratio by the size of one part
•
Now, 3 🇽 3= 9 mangoes and 7 🇽 3= 21 mangoes
So the 30 mangoes were shared in the ratio 3:7 and one person would get 9 mangoes while the
other gets 21 mangoes

7. METHOD 2

8. • How to Solve:
• Take each part in the ratio,
divide it by the whole and
multiply by the given amount
that you want to share.
• There are two parts in the ratio
3 and 7. The whole is 10 (3+7)

9. EXAMPLE 3:
Share $20
between Tom,
Tony and
David in the
ratio 2:5:3
IN THE RATIO, THE 2 REPRESENTS TOM’S
SHARE, THE 5 REPRESENTS TONY’S SHARE
AND THE 3 REPRESENTS DAVID’S SHARE
Add: Find the total parts by adding the individual parts
in the ratio
• 2+3+5=10 parts
Divide: Divide the amount by the total number of parts
to find the size of 1 part
• 20/10= $2
And
Multiply: Multiply the Values in the ratio by the size of
one part
Tom’s Share= 2 🇽 2= $4 Tony’s Share= 2🇽 5= $10 and
David’s Share= 2 x 3= $6

10. METHOD 2

11. Share $20 between
Tom, Tony and David
in the ratio 2:5:3
• How to Solve:
• Take each part in the ratio,
divide it by the whole and multiply
by the given amount that you
want to share.
• There are three parts in the ratio
2, 5 and 3. The whole is 10
(2+5+3)
