Split £96 in the ratio 5 : 3

1.       Split 96 in the ratio 5 : 3
First is to split the total number 96 into 8 parts because 5 + 3  = 8
Thus there are a total of 8 parts in all.
=> 96 / 8 = 11. 88
now, let’s find the value of each ratio:
=> 11.88 x 5
=> 59.4
Find the value of the second one:
=> 11.88 x 3
=> 35.6
Thus, the division is 59.4 : 35.6
=> 59.4 + 35.6
=> 96
