Thabo, Silas and Jacob are paid a total of R1500 for the work that they did. They decide to share the amount in the ratio \( 6: 5: 4 \) respectively. How much of money will Silas receive?

To find out how much Silas will receive, we first need to determine the total parts in the ratio \( 6:5:4 \). Adding the parts together gives us: \( 6 + 5 + 4 = 15 \) parts. Now, we can find the value of one part by dividing the total amount by the total number of parts: \( \text{Value of one part} = \frac{1500}{15} = 100 \). Now, since Silas's share is 5 parts, we calculate: \( \text{Silas's share} = 5 \times 100 = R500 \). So, Silas will receive R500.
