Question

72 sweets have to be distributed between Anu and Vina in the ratio 4:5. How many sweets does each of them get?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of mangoes Anu gets be 4x

therefore

number of mangoes Vina gets =5x

now,

we know 4x+5x=72

=9x=72

=x=72/9

=x=8

therefore

number of mangoes Anu gets=4×8=32

number of Vina gets=5×8=40

Answer 2

Answer:

$for \: anu \: = 32 \: sweets \\ for \: vina \: = 40 \: sweets$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of sweets = 72

Sweets distributed in the ratio = 4:5

$4x + 5x = 72 \\ 9x = 72 \\ x = \frac{72}{9} \\ x = 8$

for Anu = 4x = 4 * 8 = 32

for Vina = 5x = 5 * 8 = 40
