Answer 1

Answer:

GIVEN

We are given that there is a truck which carries cartons of 3 varities of mangoes in a particular ratio andwe are given the number of cartons of first variety

TO FIND

We need to find the total number of mangoes

SOLUTION

The ratio of the varities of mangoes is 3:1:3

Let the number of each type be x like 3x :x :3x

So we are given that first variety of mangoes are 15

therefore, 3x = 15

==> 3x = 15

==> x = 5

Total number of mangoes = 3x + x + 3x = 7x

Total number of mangoes= 5×7 = 35 mangoes

Answer 2

Answer:

QuestioN :

A truck carries cartons of 3 varieties of mangoes in the ratio 3:1:3. If there are 15 cartons of the first  variety, how many cartons of mangoes are there in total?​

GiveN :

• cartons of 3 varieties
• mangoes in the ratio 3:1:3.
• there are 15 cartons of the first

To FiNd :

• How many cartons of mangoes are there in total.

ANswer :

There are 35cartons of mangoes.

SolutioN :

There are 2 ways to find the answer.

1).

There are total 3 varieties,

1. 1st variety = 15 cartoons
2. 2nd variety = 5 cartoons
3. 3rd variety = 15 cartoons

⇒ 15 + 5 + 15

⇒ 20 + 15

⇒ 35

2).

Let the number of each type be x like 3x :x :3x

Given that,

first variety of mangoes are 15

∴ 3x = 15

⇒ 3x = 15

⇒ x = 15/3

⇒ x = 5

Total number of mangoes = 3x + x + 3x = 7x

Total number of mangoes= 5×7

= 35 mangoes

∴ Hence, There are 35cartons of mangoes.
