this is my queston:
374 divided in ratio of 1:2. The second person shared his section between two people in ratio of 2:3. How much did each person get?
for the first bit i have to do, 374 divided 3= 124.7 (i think) 124.7+124.7= 249.3.
after that part im not sure what to do, could someone please explain! thanks
does anyone know how to do this?

Use the same method you used to solve the first part of the question ,
249.3 divide by 5 , then times 2 and 3 respectively to get the amount each person gets .
