Mr elvis divided his money in the ratio 2: 6 between eric and shan eric got the smaller amount of 240 dollars. how much did shan get?

He divided his money in a 2:6 ratio and Eric got the smaller amount.
First you have to add 2+6 and you get 8
so the total is 8
Next find out what fraction is 2 over 8
2/8=1/4
so, 1/4 is $240
so now take away 1/4 from 4/4 and you get 3/4
To find how much money Shane got you multiply the quantity given by the reciprocal of the fraction 240/1*4/1
Your answer  is $960
So 3/4 or Shane's amount is $960
