Question

20 ballons have to be divided between amit and anshu in the ratio
2:3

Answer 1

ratio of balloons= 2:3
= 2x,3x
2x+3x=20
5x=20
x=20/5
x=4

Amit=2x=2*4
=8 balloons
Anshu=3x=3*4
=12 balloons

Answer 2

2:3

let us assume that amit get 2/5 of 20 balloons and anshu gets 3/5 of 20

that is 2/5 x 20 = 8 balloons

          3/5 x 20 = 12 balloons

amit gets 8 balloons and anshu gets 12 balloons
