Share £747 in the ratio 2:7

Hi there! The answer is £166

If we split into the ratio 2 : 7 we must first realise that the sum of both 2 and 7 is 9. Therefore there are 9 parts in total.

To find 2 of those parts we divide £747 by 9 and then multiply the outcome by 2.

To find 5 of those parts we divide £747 by 9 and then multiply the outcome by 5.

£747 / 9 * 2 = £166

£747 / 9 * 5 = £415

Ratio: 2:7

2+7 = 9

747 / 9 = 83

83*2 = 166

83 * 7 = 581

166 to 581
