Question

5. Mother wants to divide 36 between her daughters Shreya and Bhoomika in the ratio of their ages. If age of Shreya is 15 years and age of Bhoomika is 12 years, find how much Shreya and Bhoomika will get. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shreya will get 20 and Bhoomika will get 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Age of Shreya = 15 yrs.

Age of Bhoomika = 12 yrs.

Ratio of age of Shreya and Bhoomika = Age of Shreya / Age of Bhoomika

                                                               = 15 / 12

                                                                = 5 / 4 = 5 : 4

Sum of the ratio = 5 + 4 =9

Amount mother wants to divide between Shreya and Bhoomika = 36

Amount Shreya will get =( 5 / 9 ) × 36

                                   =20

Amount Bhoomika will get = ( 4 / 9 ) × 36

                                         =16
