Question 1198411

simbi and ibukun shared some sweets in the ratio of 3:7 simbi got 60 sweets what was ibukun share?
<pre>Fracton Simbi rec'd: {{{matrix(1,5, 3/(3 + 7), "=", 3/10, or, .3)}}}
Fracton Ibukun rec'd: {{{matrix(1,7, 7/(3 + 7), or, 1 - 3/10, "=", 7/10, or, .7)}}}
With Simbi receiving 60 sweets, we get the following PROPORTION: {{{matrix(1,3, .3/.7, "=", 60/I)}}} with I being amount Ibukun rec'd
                                                                 .3I = .7(60) ---- Cross-multiplying
                                          Amount Ibukun rec'd, or {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,9, I, "=", .7(60)/.3, "=", .7(600)/3, "=", .7(200), "=", highlight(140)))}}}</pre>
