Olodo and ewagoyin shared a sum of money in the ratio of 7:2. Find the amount shared if ewagoyin's share is 3

Answer 1

Let's assume Olodo's share is 7x and Ewagoyin's share is 2x.

Given that Ewagoyin's share is 3, we can set up the equation:

2x = 3

Solving for x:

x = 3/2
x = 1.5

Now, we can find Olodo's share and Ewagoyin's share:

Olodo's share = 7x = 7 * 1.5 = 10.5
Ewagoyin's share = 2x = 2 * 1.5 = 3

Therefore, Olodo shared 10.5 and Ewagoyin shared 3.
