Dividing a Quantity into a Given Ratio

What is a given ratio?

Often, we are given problems that ask us to divide into a given ratio. For instance, Mikhael and Sam helped someone with some household chores and got $50 to split amongst them 3:2, respectively. This would mean that Mikhael gets $30 and Sam gets $20. The following videos explain dividing a quantity into a given ratio in HSC Standard Math and further how to divide amongst two or even three people.
