Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If R, A, and P all share 108 pounds in the ratio of 2 to 3 to 1, then
2x + 3x + 1x = 108 and
6x = 108 so
x = 18.
R holds the ratio of 2x, so he gets 2(18) which is 36;
A holds the ratio of 3x, so he gets 3(18) which is 54;
P holds the ratio of 1x, so he gets 1(18) which is 18.
36 + 54 + 18 better equal 108...and it does!
