John and Mohammed shared a sum of money in ratio of 7:2 Find to the amount shared if Mohammed share is 3 naira
If the ratio of John's share to Mohammed's share is 7:2, then their total ratio must be 7+2=9 parts.
We can find the value of one part by dividing Mohammed's share by 2:
3/2 = 1.5
So one part of the money is worth 1.5 naira.
To find John's share, we need to multiply the value of one part by 7:
John's share = 7 x 1.5 = 10.5
Therefore, John shared 10.5 naira and Mohammed shared 3 naira.
