Question

Angad and Nick win some money and share it in the ratio 2:1. Angad gets £32. How much did Nick get?

Answer 1

Answer:

the given ratio = 2:1

It means,

if Angad gets £2, Nick will get £1

• By unitary method,

if Angad gets £2, Nick gets £1

if Angad gets £1, Nick gets £0.5

if Angad gets £32, Nick gets £(0.5×32)=16

• By the traditional method,

the given ratio,= 2:1

Angad:Nick=2:1

>32: Nick=2:1

$> \frac{32}{nick} = \frac{2}{1} \\ > nick = \frac{32}{2} = 16$
