Answer:
120:72:48
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Whatever the answer is (call it x to begin with), the equation starts as
5x + 3x + 2x = 240
What this means is that when you solve for x the results when multiplied by the ratio, should add to 240
Equation
5x + 3x + 2x = 240
Solution
Combine all the terms on the left.
10x = 240 Divide by 10
x = 240/10
x = 24
Check
- 5*24 = 120
- 3*24 = 72
- 2*24 = 48
- Total = 240
