John and Mohammed shared a sum of money in ratio of 7:2 Find to the amount shared if Mohammed share is 3 naira

Answer 1

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.
