divide the quantities in the given ratios with steps by steps; R12,60 in the ratio 2:7

Answer 1

To divide the quantities in the ratio 2:7, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio.

Step 1: Add the ratio values together
2 + 7 = 9

Step 2: Divide the total quantity by the total number of parts
R12,60 / 9 = R1,40

Step 3: Multiply each ratio value by the quotient obtained in Step 2

For the ratio 2:
2 x R1,40 = R2,80

For the ratio 7:
7 x R1,40 = R9,80

Thus, the quantities divided in the ratio 2:7 with steps are R2,80 and R9,80.
