    Hi

    2/6 = 1/3

    E = Eric

    S = Shan

    E/S = 1/3 ⇒ 3·E = S·1 ⇒ 3E = S

    S = 3E

    S = 3· (420)

    S = 1260

    Answer: $ 1260

    First, we can simplify the ratio, as both numbers have a factor of 2

    2:6 becomes 1:3

    Eric received $420 and we want to know what Shan got

    Eric received 1 unit, therefore we multiply $420 by 3 (because 1unit x 3 = 3 units)

    $420 x 3 = $1260

    Shan received $1260
