Question

15. Mother wants to divide 36 between her daughters Shreya and Bhoomika in the ratio
of their
ages.
If
age of Shreya is 15 years and age of
Bhoomika is 12 years, find how much Shreya and Bhoomika
will get.​

Answer 1

Amount to be divided = 36

Ratio of Shreya's age and Bhoomika's age = 15:12

= 5 :4

sum of the parts of the ratio = 5 + 4 = 9

Shreya gets = 5/9 × 36

= 20

Bhoomika gets = 4/9 × 36

= 16
