Jane and Ken share some money in the ratio 5 : 3.Ken's share is 16 dollars less than Jane's share.Find each person's share.

Answer»

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The money is SHARED in the ratio 5:3

That means that Jane GETS 5 parts of the TOTAL money and Ken gets three parts.

So then there are 8 parts of the money (5 + 3 = 8)

Jane has 2 parts more than Ken (5 - 3 = 2)

And those 2 parts are EQUAL to $16 (the question says so)

So one part is equal to $8

Each person's share then is: Jane has 5 parts = $40, Ken has 3 parts = $24
