To find out how much money was shared, we need to calculate the total amount based on the given ratio and the amount received by one person.

Let's assume the two persons in the ratio are A and B. According to the given ratio of 2:5, the total ratio is 2 + 5 = 7.

Now, if person A received $60, we need to calculate how much one unit of the ratio represents. To do this, we divide the amount received by person A by their share of the ratio: $60 ÷ 2 = $30.

Since each unit is equal to $30, we can find out the total amount shared by multiplying it by the total ratio:

Total amount shared = $30 × 7 = $210.

Therefore, the total amount of money shared between the two persons is $210.
