Question

Divide 1575 in the ratio 7:2

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the total number of parts in the ratio 7:2

7+2=9

Step 2: Divide the total amount by the total number of parts

1575/9= 175

Step 3: Multiply the ratio parts by the amount per part

For the ratio 7:2

7 parts = 7 x 175 = 1225

2 parts = 2 x 175 = 350

Therefore, dividing 1575 in the ratio 7:2 gives 1225 and 350.
