Jake and lisa shared $132 in the ratio of 2:9. Find the amount of money jake had.
To find out how much money Jake had, we'll divide the total amount of money ($132) according to the ratio of 2:9 (Jake's share to Lisa's share).
First, we'll add up the parts of the ratio to get the total number of parts:
Jake's parts = 2
Lisa's parts = 9
Total parts = 2 + 9 = 11 parts
Now, we know that the total amount of money, $132, is split into 11 parts. To find out how much one part is worth, we divide the total amount of money by the total number of parts:
Value of one part = $132 / 11 = $12
Now that we know the value of one part, we can find out how much money Jake had by multiplying the value of one part by the number of parts Jake has (which is 2):
Jake's amount = 2 parts * $12/part = $24
So, Jake had $24.
