Captain Hook, Captain Sparrow and Long John Silver split a treasure in the ratio 2:5:7. Long John Silver received the greatest portion. Captain Hook received the smallest portion, which was 1000 pounds. How many pounds was the total weight of Long John Silver’s portion of the treasure?

3500 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Hook: the "2" in the ratio. He got 1000 pounds of treasure so we write a ratio:

2:1000 = 1:500

John Silver: the "7" in the ratio. The ratio then becomes:

1(7):500(7) = 7:3500. His treasure weighs 3500 pounds
