Question 1163258
<br>
{{{(2/5)/(2/3) = (2/5)*(3/2) = 3/5}}}<br>
So the ratio of A's money to B's money is 3:5.<br>
So divide the total $4800 into two parts in the ratio 3:5.<br>
A has more money than B, so<br>
3x = B's money
5x = A's money<br>
{{{3x+5x = 4800}}}
{{{8x = 4800}}}
{{{x = 600}}}<br>
A's money is 5x = $3000
B's money is 3x = $1800<br>
CHECK:
(2/5)($3000) = 2($600) = $1200
(2/3)($1800) = 2($600) = $1200<br>
