Answer :-
188 ribbons, 312 ribbons
Step-by-step explanation :-
★ According to the question,
There are 500 ribbons and it is shared between Roy and Sam in the ratio 3:5.
Let:
- Number of ribbons Roy got be 3x and
- Number of ribbons Sam got be 5x
Exact number of ribbons each person got = ?
Solution:
Since the total number of ribbons = 500,
3x + 5x = 500
⇒ 8x = 500
⇒ x = 500 ÷ 8
⇒ x = 62.5
Number of ribbons with Roy
3x = 3 (62.5) = 187.5 ≈ 188
Number of ribbons with Sam
5x = 5 (62.5) = 312.5 ≈ 312
Hence,
- Roy got 188 ribbons
- Sam got 312 ribbons
