Question

A sum of money is shared in ratio of 2:3:5 . Smallest share is divided again in the ratio of 1:3 . What fraction of total sum of money is the larger of two latter shares ?

Answer 1

Answer:

19/1

17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

given ratio is

2:3:5

and again smallest parties divided into 1:3

means total 2parts are divided into 4 parts

so we can express the 2:3:5 as 4:6:10

4 parts into 1:3

then final money shared in the form of

1:3:6:10

then total sum of money is shared into 20 parts,

fraction formate is

total money is 20 times

1:20

19 times large of the first smallest part

19/1

same way

3:17

17/3 times larger of the second largest value

17/3
