Answer:

Sandy's portion = [tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{7}{48}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandy's older sister was given $2,400

She was told to keep the balance of the money after sharing with her siblings.

She gave  Sandy exactly $350

The objective is to write Sandy's portion.

Sandy's portion will be the ratio of the amount given to Sandy divided by the total amount at her sister disposal.

Let Sandy's older sister be y,

So, y = 2400

Sandy's portion = [tex]\dfrac{350}{2400}[/tex]

Sandy's portion = [tex]\dfrac{35}{240}[/tex]

Sandy's portion = [tex]\mathsf{\dfrac{7}{48}}[/tex]
