White paint costs £2.80 per litre. Blue Paint costs £3.50 per litre. White paint and blue paint are mixed in the ratio 3:2 Work out the cost of 18 litres of the mixture.

The mixture has a ratio of 3:2, white to blue paint. 3+2=5 so there are 5 parts to the mixture, 3 white and 2 blue. We know the cost of 1 litre of each, so first we can work out the cost of 1 litre of the mi...

Anouk, Beth and Carlin share £48 between them. Beth gets 3/8 of the money. Anouk and Carlin share the remaining money between them, by the ratio 3:2. How much money does Carlin get?

Beth gets: £48 x 3/8 = £18 The remaining money is: £48 - £18 = £30 ( Alternate method: £48 x 5/8 = £30. This eliminates the need for the first step) The ratio is 3:2 so this is the same as fractions of (3+2=...
