    Let the ratio vriable be a.

    Now ratio = 2:7 = 2a + 7a = 9a

    9a = 72

    thus, a = 72 / 9 = 8

    thus, a = 8.

    Now the ratio will be, first share = 2a = 2 x 8 = 16

    second share = 7a = 7x 8 = 56.

    Thus, 72 will be shared in ratios of 56 and 16

    2+7 = 9

    72 / 9 = 8

    8 * 2 = 16

    8 * 7 = 56

    16:56

    Key:

    * = times

    / = divide
