Question

Aruna had 7 time as many ship as beth and both together had 608. how many ship had each.

Answer 1

Let the number of ships Beth has be x.
So, the number of ships Aruna has will be 7x.
According to question,
7x + x = 608
8x = 608
x = 76
Beth had ships = x = 76
Aruna had ships = 8x = 7×76 = 532

Answer 2

hi

let beth be x

then aruna = 7x

now,

Aruna had 7 time as many ship as beth and both together had 608

x +7x = 608

8x = 608

x = 608/8

x = 76

since aruna is 7x

=> 7* 76

=> 532

hope it helps u
