Question

48 pencils are shared among Yin yin, Ruby, and Jane in the ratio 2:5:9. Find the difference between Yin's share and Jane's share.​

Answer 1

Answer:

21 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

48 pencils are divided in the ratio 2:5:9.

the total parts will be 2 + 5 + 9 = 16

Yin's share = 2/16 * 48 = 6

Ruby's share = 5/16 * 48 = 15

Jane's share = 9/16 * 48 = 27

difference between Yin's share and Jane's share

= 27 - 6

= 21 pencils
