Kaylyn Lewis · Answer 1

So, we need to divide the reward into 5 parts, then award 2 parts to Jaden and 3 parts to Cadence.

$140 / 5 = $28

Jaden gets 2 * 28 = $56

Cadence gets 3 * 28 = $84

$56 + $84 = $140

Wilkerson · Answer 2

Jaden gets 40 because if you add the ratio it equals 7. you've got to get the ratio to add to 140.

j:c

2:5=7

4:10=14

40:100=140
