let 6:5 be 6x and 5x
ATQ, 6x - 5x = 23
therefore, x = 23
distribution= 23 × (6+5)
= 23 × 11
= 253 stamps
ATQ, 6x - 5x = 23
therefore, x = 23
distribution= 23 × (6+5)

Let the ratio of the stamps be 6x and 5x.
Shila and Amina received the ratio of stams 6x and 5x respectively.
Given that shila received 23 stamps more than Amina.
So,
The value of x here is
6x-5x = 23
X = 23
Distribution among them :
Shila's part = 6x ×23 = 138
Amina's part = 5x × 23 = 115.
Total stamps that were distributed :
138 + 115
==> 253 stamps.
