Question

Ajay and Anju are told by their mother to share 85 cookies in the ratio
6:11. How many cookies each do Ajay and Anju get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total no. of cookies: 85, to be share in ration 6:11. let the common ration be x, so Ajay will get 6x and Anju will get 11x. we can for equation that 6x+11x=85 because if we add the both no. of cookies with them it will be the total no. of it. hence, 6x+11x=85;  17x=85; x= 85/17;  x=5. hence Ajay will get 6x=6(5)=30 cookies and Anju will get 11x=11(5)=55 cookies.  HOPE IT HELPS
