Tim shared a sum of money between is friend Leo, mark and omar in the ratio 2:3:5 if mark received $60 how much was shared
amount by ..
Leo --- 2x
Mark --- 3x
Omar -- 5x
total = 10x
we are given that
3x=60
so x = 20

To find out how much money was shared, we need to determine the total value of the ratio.
Let's say the total value of the ratio is represented by "x". Since the ratio is given as 2:3:5, we can express it as 2x:3x:5x.
According to the problem, Mark received $60, which represents the 3x portion of the ratio. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
3x = 60
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = 60/3
x = 20
So, the total value of the ratio is 20.
To find out how much money was shared, we can multiply each part of the ratio by the value of x:
2x = 2 * 20 = 40
3x = 3 * 20 = 60
5x = 5 * 20 = 100
Therefore, the total amount of money shared between Tim, Leo, Mark, and Omar is $40 + $60 + $100 = $200.
