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.
