ANSWER: let the ratios are 3x and 5x
therefore,3x+5x=240
8x=240
x=30
so,3x=3×30=90
5x=5×30=150
so,we divide 240 in 90 and 150 to get ratio 3:5
therefore,3x+5x=240
8x=240
x=30
so,3x=3×30=90
5x=5×30=150
so,we divide 240 in 90 and 150 to get ratio 3:5
The number who needs to be made into a ratio = 240
Total number of parts = 3 + 5
= 8 parts
Each part = 240 ÷ 8
= 30
Then three parts = 30 × 3 = 90
Five parts = 30 × 5 = 150
Then , the ratio will be = 90 : 150
Therefore , 240 in a ratio of 3 : 5 = 90 : 150 .
