a sum of money is shared between to persons at the ratio 2:5 one person received $60 how much was shared

either (7/5 * 60) or (7/2 * 60) depending on who got the $60.

A sum of money is to be shared amount three friends Paul, mark and Anna in the ratio 2 3 5 respectively if Paul received $48000 determine Anna’s mark and the total sum

it depends

can be:
2 - 5
60 - 150

or
2 - 5
24 - 60

so they have $210 or $84

756

To find out how much money was shared, we need to calculate the total amount based on the given ratio and the amount received by one person.

Let's assume the two persons in the ratio are A and B. According to the given ratio of 2:5, the total ratio is 2 + 5 = 7.

Now, if person A received $60, we need to calculate how much one unit of the ratio represents. To do this, we divide the amount received by person A by their share of the ratio: $60 ÷ 2 = $30.

Since each unit is equal to $30, we can find out the total amount shared by multiplying it by the total ratio:

Total amount shared = $30 × 7 = $210.

Therefore, the total amount of money shared between the two persons is $210.
