Question

A12) The ratio of the number of apples to that
of mangoes in a basket is 5 : 4. If the
number of apples is 210, then find the
number of mangoes in the basket.​

Answer 1

Answer:

no.of mangoes in the basket are 168

Answer 2

let no. of apples be X and no. of mangoes be y.

x/y = 5/4

the no. of apples is given i.e 210

we can put in the place of x

so,

210/y =5/4

(doing cross multiplication)

210*4=5y

840=5y

840/5=y

y=168

therefore, the no. of mangoes in the basket is 168.
