In an annual competition 3 members of a relay race win and receive £75,000. Split this into the ratio of 2:1:3. Please help me, thank you.

The member who gets 2 parts gets  of £75,000, or  , or £ .
The member who gets 1 part gets  of £75,000, or £ .
The member who gets 3 parts gets  of £75,000, or  , or £ , which is also 3 times what the member who gets 1 part gets.
