Question

Amy, Samir and Tom share a 330 ml bottle of cola in the ratio 5:3:2
How much cola does Tom get?​

Answer 1

Answer:

66mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of the numbers in the ratio is 5 + 3 + 2 = 10.

ratio of Tom is 2.

volume of cola that Tom gets = 2/10 × 330

= 66mL.

Answer 2

Given

$\bold {Total \ amount \ of \ Coca-cola} = 330 \ ml$

$\\\bold{Total \ amount \ Amy \ receives} = 5x$

$\\\bold{Total \ amount \ Samir \ receives} = 3x$

$\bold{Total \ amount \ Tom \ receives} = 2x$

$\implies 5x+3x+2x=330\\\implies 10 x = 330\\\implies \underline{\underline{ x = 33 \ ml}}$

$\bold{Amount \ Amy \ receives} = 5 * 33 = \boxed{\boxed{\bold{165 \ ml}}}}\\\\\bold{Amount \ Samir \ receives} = 3 * 33 = \boxed{\boxed{\bold{99 \ ml}}}}\\\\\bold{Amount \ Tom \ receives} = 2 * 33 = \boxed{\boxed{\bold{66 \ ml}}}}$
