the division of 270 between three people in the ratio of 2%3A3%3A4
since 2%2B3%2B4=9
divide:
270%2F9=30
then
2%2A30=60
3%2A30=90
4%2A30=120

=>60,90,120

.

Divide 270  in (2+3+4) = 9 equal parts, so each part is 270%2F9 = 30 units.


Give 2*30 = 60 to the first person;  3*30 = 90 to the second person and 4*30 = 120 to the third person.

Solved.
