How much should each person receive?
5.
Ed and Ted win half a million dollars on an internet lottery.
They decide to share the money in the ratio 13 : 12.
How much more will Ed receive than Ted?
Add up the 13+12 to get 25 then divide 500,000 by 25 to get 2,000. Then multiply it by 13 to get 26000 and by 12 to get 24000. Subtract 26000 minus 24000 to get 2000. 2000 is your answer.
