Question from Muzdalfah, a student:

Amount of Tsh 12,000 is to be shared among John,Hidaya and sabrina in the ratio of
of 2:3:5 respectivly. How will each get?

Muzdalfah,

Since 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 you can divide the Tsh 12,000 into groups of 10 so that in each group John gets 2, Hidaya gets 3 and Sabrina gets 5. How many groups of 10 are there?
