Question

16 oranges were distributed between A and B in the ratio 3:5. How many will B get?​

Answer 1

Answer:

B will get 10 oranges as his part from 16 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio between the parts of A and B is 3:5

if taken x be the proportional value,

then the total parts = 3x+5x = 8x

ie., 8x = 16 oranges (given)

=> x = 16/8 = 2

=> part of B = 5x = 5*2 oranges

                   = 10 oranges
