Ratio split: £660 shared 2:5

£660 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 £471. Traps to avoid: £330 comes from the "split evenly" error; £189 comes from the "smaller share" error; £1,650 comes from the "a over b" error; £94 comes from the "one part" error.
