Answer:
(a) 1/2
(b) $1,080,000
(c) 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the ratio in which the money is being distributed
To do this first add up the individual values in the ratio 5:3:2 which represents the ratio C:D:E for apportioning savings
5 + 3 + 2 = 10
Chris's share = 5/10 = 1/2
Danny's share = 3/10
Evelyn's share = 2/10 = 1/5
Answers
(a) Fraction of Danny's share = 1/2
(b) If Danny is to receive $540,000 and his share is 1/2 of total savings then the total savings = 2 x 540,000 = $1,080,000
(c) The ratio of the angles in a pie chart will be the same as the ratio of the division. A pie chart shows the relative shares as part of a circle. Since a circle contains 360° , the angle of the sector that represents Evelyn's share will be 1/5 x 360 = 72°
