Question

500 ribbons shared between Roy and Sam in the ratio 3:5. how many ribbons did each person get?​

Answer 1

$\sf{Given}$

• It is given that Total Ribbons = $\sf{500}$
• Ratio between Roy and Sam = $\sf{3 : 5}$
• We know that The sum of ratios = $\sf{3 + 5 = 8}$

• So Roy’s share

$\sf \frac{3}{8} \: of \: 500 = \frac{1500}{8} = 187.5 \: ribbons$

• Similarly Sam’s share

$\sf \frac{5}{8} \: of \: 500 = \frac{2500}{8} = 312.5 \: ribbons$

Answer 2

Answer:

8X=500

X=500/8

X=62.5

3X=3X62.5=187.5

5X=5X62.5=312.5
