Question

distribute 100 books between A and B in the ratio 2:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

let A has 2x books and B has 3x books.

2x + 3x = 100

5x= 100

x= 100/5

x= 20

Now, A = 2x= 2× 20= 40 books

B=3x = 3×20= 60 books

Hence 40 books should be given to A and 60 books should be given to B so that the ratio become 2:3.

Answer 2

Solution: distribute 100 books between Aa and B

Let ratio be x,

2x/3x =100

2x=300x

x=300/2

ans:150
