Question 700187: The ratio of the number of coins mark has to the number of coins john has is 2:5. If john has 20 coins how many does mark have Answer by Simnepi(216) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The ratio 2:5 means mark has 2 'parts' and john has 5 'parts'.
If john has 20 coins this means that 20 coins is 5 parts.
So we find that 1 part is 4 coins ().
If 1 part is 4 coins, then 2 parts is 8 coins.
So mark has 8 coins.
