Question

200 cakes are shared out in a ratio of 2:3 into groups a and b respectively. How much does each group get in that order? (Use a comma to separate the answers)

Answer 1

Answer: group A= 80 cakes

group B= 120 cakes

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the no. of cakes for a particular group

■ 2x = group A

■ 3x = group B

Hence,

2x + 3x = 200 Cakes

5x = 200 Cakes

Hence,x= 200/5

x= 40.

Therefore,

2x = 2×40 = 80

3x = 3×40 = 120

Therefore,

Group A Gets 80 Cakes

Group B Gets 120 Cakes
