To share the amount of 5000 in the ratio 1:2:5, you first need to find the total parts in the ratio.
-
Add the parts of the ratio together:
\( 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 \)
-
Determine the value of one part:
\[ \text{Value of one part} = \frac{5000}{8} = 625 \]
-
Now, calculate the share of each part:
- For the first part (1): \( 1 \times 625 = 625 \)
- For the second part (2): \( 2 \times 625 = 1250 \)
- For the third part (5): \( 5 \times 625 = 3125 \)
-
Thus, the amounts shared are:
- First share: 625
- Second share: 1250
- Third share: 3125
So, 5000 is shared in the ratio 1:2:5 as 625, 1250, and 3125, respectively.
