Question

b) Divide Rs 545 among three people Anish, Pratish and Manish in the ratio : 3/4:2/5:1 3/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

147.3,78.6,319.1

Explanation:

The ratios given are not proportional. So we need to make them proportional by taking LCM. The LCM is 40. The ratios become 30: 16: 65 with 40 as common denominator.

The sum of all is 111=30+16+65.

Now we can just distribute 545 among the three as follows

Anish : 545*30/111 =147.3

Pratish : 545*16/111 =78.6

Manish : 545*65/111=319.1

Hope it helped.
