-------
2:5 is the same as 2x:5x
--------------
Fiona has 2x
Fredas has 5x
-----
Equation:
2x + 5x = 1200
7x = 1200
x = 171.43
------
Fiona has 2x = 2*171.43 = 342.86
Fredas has 5x = 5*171.43 = 857.15
-----
Note: If each has $600 they will have equal amounts.
Fredas should give 857.15-600 = 257.15 to Fiona

Cheers,
