Question 67416
Mr. Lynch owns (3/7) of the business and his share of the profits for the year was $60,000. Wilbur only owned (1/28) of the business. What was Wilbur's share of the profits?

3/7=12/28

So  12/28=$60,000  divide both sides by 12

1/28(12/12)=$60,000/12
1/28=$5,000----------------------Wilbur's share
