10) Divide 180 in the ratio 1:2:9.

With ratios, we first need to sum all the numbers that comprise the full ratio (1:2:9):
1  2  9  12 .

Next, we take the number we are given to divide into the ratio (180), and divide this by the
result from the preceding sum (12):
180
 15 .
12

Finally, we take each of the numbers that comprise the full ratio (1:2:9) and multiply them
each by the preceding answer (15):
1  15  15
2  15  30
9  15  135

Hence, 180 divided into the ratio 1:2:9 is 15:30:135.
