Does anyone know how to work ratios?

Question

I have a math problem: 3 People share income and loss in a 3:2:1 ratio. Does that mean 30%, 20%, and 10% or what? If someone can tell me what this means then I can finish the rest of the problem. Thanks

Answer 1

No that only adds up to 60%. Total of 6 so, 3/6, 2/6, 1/6, which works out to 1/2, 1/3, 1/6. appx 50%, 33% 17%

Answer 2

No, think of it as a six part pie. First person gets three pieces, the second gets two, and the third gets one. Or 50%, 33.3% and 16.6%, roughly speaking.

Answer 3

50.01%, 33.34%, 16.67%
