Question

1kg of sweet were divided into sonu and monu in the ratio 1/2:1/3 how much sweet did sonu and monu receive

Answer 1

1kg= 1000g
1/2×1000= 500
1/3×1000=333.33

Answer 2

ratio =1/2:1/3
sweet=1 kg
let sonu received 1/2x
let monu received1/3x
but total sweet =1kg
sonu received +monu received =1 kg
1/2x+1/3x=1 kg
5/6x=1 kg
x=6/5kg
sonu =1/2x=1/2×6/5
sonu=3/5kg (or) 600 gm
monu =1/3x=1/3×6/5
monu= 2/5kg (or) 400gm
