Jaden and cadence share a reward of $140 in a ratio of 2/5. what fraction of the total reward does Jaden get? how do you know?

jaden gets 40 because if you add the ratio it equals 7. you've got to get the ratio to add to 140.

j:c
2:5=7
4:10=14
40:100=140

So, we need to divide the reward into 5 parts, then award 2 parts to Jaden and 3 parts to Cadence.

$140 / 5 = $28

Jaden  gets   2 * 28  =  $56
Cadence gets 3 * 28 = $84

$56 + $84 =  $140
