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 Mark me as BRAIN list |
