Give your answer in its lowest terms.

Respuesta :

The amount spent on water and biscuits is $5.4 and $3.6, respectively

From the question, the ratio is given as:

[tex]Biscuits : Water= 3 : 2[/tex]

Represent both proportion as a fraction

[tex]Biscuits = \frac 35[/tex]

[tex]Water= \frac 25[/tex]

Kolyhan has $9.

So, the amount spent on biscuit is:

[tex]Biscuit= \frac 25 \times 9[/tex]

[tex]Biscuit= 3.6[/tex]

The amount spent on water is:

[tex]Water = 9 - 3.6[/tex]

[tex]Water = 5.4[/tex]

Hence, the amount spent on water and biscuits is $5.4 and $3.6, respectively
