Question

(b)
Find the number of flowers offered by him in the temple.
Raman had 30 flowers. He offered some flowers in a temple and found that the
ratio of the number of remaining flowers to that of flowers in the beginning is 2.5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let offered flowers be X

given ratio = 2/5

therefore, 2/5 = X/30

then cross multiply

60 = 5X

X = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

Raman offered 12 flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of flowers he gave be = x

At the sum,

30:x = 2:5

-- 30/x = 2/5

-- 5(x) = 2(30)

-- 5x = 60

-- x = 12
