add the ratios together and divide them by 132. then times the number by the answer you get.

3+3+5=11

132÷11=12

12×3=36

12×3=36

12×5=60

so: 36:36:60

For some number \(x\), the number 132 can be divided into \(3x\), \(3x\), and \(5x\).

The sum of the three numbers is
\(3x+3x+5x=132\)

Solve for \(x\):
\(3x+3x+5x=132\)
\(\rightarrow11x=132\)
\(\rightarrow x=12\)

Plug into \(3x\) and \(5x\):
\(3x=3*12=36\)
\(5x=5*12=60\)

So the division comes out as 36 kg, 36 kg, 60 kg.
