A 5 to 3 ratio means that for every 5 parts of one quantity, there are 3 parts of another quantity. To find how many parts there are in total, you add the two parts together: 5 + 3 = 8 parts. To find the value of each part, you divide the total value (120,000) by the total number of parts (8): 120,000 / 8 = 15,000. Therefore, in a 5 to 3 ratio to get 120,000, each part would be equal to 15,000.

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! A 5 to 3 ratio means for every 5 parts of one thing, there are 3 parts of another. To find how many parts there are in total, you simply add the parts together, which gives us 8 parts in total. To find out how many parts make up 120,000, you divide 120,000 by 8 to get 15,000. And there you have it, a beautiful calculation!

5to 3= 8 parts

120,000 = 8 parts

(120000/8 )* 3 = 3 parts
