Divide \( R 2400 \) in the ratio of \( 1: 2: 3 \)

To divide \( R 2400 \) in the ratio of \( 1: 2: 3 \), first, add up the parts of the ratio: \( 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 \) parts. Next, determine the value of one part by dividing the total amount by the total number of parts: \( R 2400 \div 6 = R 400 \). Now, multiply the value of one part by each part of the ratio: - First part: \( 1 \times R 400 = R 400 \) - Second part: \( 2 \times R 400 = R 800 \) - Third part: \( 3 \times R 400 = R 1200 \) Therefore, the amounts for each part are \( R 400 \), \( R 800 \), and \( R 1200 \).
