Question

A government agency plans to donate a collection of 9,126 books to three libraries in the ratio 1:3:5. What is the largest number of books that a library can get?

Answer 1

Explanation:

X + 3x + 5x = 9126

9x = 9126

X=9126/9=1014

1st library = 1014 books

2nd library = 3x = 3(3042) =3042 books

3rd library = 5x = 5(5070) = 5070 books

Answer 2

Answer:

The largest number of books that a library can get is 5,070 books

Explanation:

Let,

The books donated to

• Library (I) = x
• Library (II) = 3x
• Library (III) = 5x

Collection of total books = 9,126

According to question :

⇒ x + 3x + 5x = 9,126

⇒ 9x = 9,126

⇒ x = 9,126 / 9

⇒ x = 1,014

__________________

★ Value of 3x:

⇒ 3 (1014)

⇒ 3 × 1014

⇒ 3042

★ Value of 5x:

⇒ 5 ( 1014)

⇒ 5 × 1014

⇒ 5070

Hence,

Library (I) = 1,014 books

Library (II) = 3,042 books

Library (III) = 5,070 books

Therefore,

The largest number of books that a library can get is 5,070 books
