Since the parts are in the ratio of 1, 2, and 3, then 1+2+3, or 6 parts = 180.

Partnership is the associating of two or more persons who agree to combine their money, labor, goods, skill, or "good will" in some enterprise, and to share the profits or losses of the business in proportion to the interest each part

ner owns.

The partnership is frequently called a firm, or a house, and derives its name from the persons that compose it; as "Brown & Hamilton."

The capital of a partnership is the sum of the investments of the partners. This capital may be money or anything that has a money value, as skill, good will, experience, labor, etc.

Gains and losses in a common partnership are usually apportioned in proportion to the amount of capital each partner invests and the length of time such capital is invested; but in case any partner cannot pay his proportionate share of the loss, the remaining partners are liable for the whole loss.
