Question

(13. The ratio in which the pens are to be distributed between Asha and Usha is 3 : 5. If the
number of pens are 32, find the number of pens each of them gets.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the pens with asha be 3x. --- equation 1

and pens with usha be 5x. ---- quation 2

total no. of pens = 32

according to question

3x+5x = 32

8x = 32

x = 32÷8

x= 4

now,

put the values of x in equation 1 and 2

pens with Asha= 3x

= 3(4)

= 12

pens with Usha = 5x

= 5(4)

=20

hence, Asha has 12 pens and Usha has 20 pens
