Share $56 between Jan and Kai in the ratio 5 : 3

Step 1: Add the two parts of the ratio together. So, 5 (for Jan) + 3 (for Kai) = 8.

Step 2: Divide the total amount of money ($56) by the total number of parts (8). So,$56 ÷ 8 = $7. This is the value of 1 part in the ratio.

Step 3: Multiply the value of 1 part by the number of parts each person gets. So, Jan gets 5 parts, which is 5 x $7 =$35. Kai gets 3 parts, which is 3 x $7 =$21.

So, Jan gets $35 and Kai gets$21.
