What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

Algebra is the study of graphic formulas, while logic is the interpretation among those signs.

A sum of money is divided between Laura and Joan in the ratio 2:3.

Laura’s share is $8.

Let J be the amount of Joan's share and L be the amount of Laura's share.

Then the amount of Joan's share will be

L / J = 2 / 3

8 / J = 2 / 3

By the cross multiplication, then the equation will be

2J = 8 x 3

2J = 24

 J = 24 / 2

 J = $12

The amount of the Joan's share will be $12.
