Two business partners, ellen and bob, invested money into their busness at a ratio of 5 to 6. bob invested the greater amount. the total invested was $330. how much did each business partner invest?

Ellen invested $150 and bob invested $180. at a ratio of 5: 6, ellen must have invested a little less than half the money and bob must hsve invested a little more than half. a convenient estimate would be 150 for ellen and 180 for bob. now we have to check the ratio to determine whether we need to adjust our estimate. 150/30 equsls 5 and 180/30 is 6, so the ratio would be 5: 6 and our estimate was right on? so we don't have to adjust.
