Mo and Beth split £48 in the ratio 3:5. How much money does Beth get? Give your answer in pounds (£).

Answer:
£ 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio = 3 : 5
Mo's share = 3x
Beth's share = 5x
Total amount = £ 48
3x + 5x = 48
8x = 48
{Divide both side by 8}
x = 48/8
x = £ 6
Beth's share = 5x
= 5*6
= £ 30
