£1140 is shared in the ratio 2:5. How much is the larger share?
Show worked solution
Total the ratio parts, find the value of one part (amount ÷ parts), then scale by the share's parts. The correct answer is £814. Traps to avoid: £570 comes from the "split evenly" error; £2,850 comes from the "a over b" error; £163 comes from the "one part" error; £326 comes from the "smaller share" error.
