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
