Question

distribute 800 between Mohan and sohan in the ratio of 5 : 3. how much amount will Mohan get.

Answer 1

mohan will get 500 and sohan will get 300

Answer 2

Let the ratio be x
then the numbers are 5x and 3x
Now
5x+3x=800
8x=800
x=800\8
x=100
therefore 5x=5*100=500
and 3x=3*100=300
so Mohan will get 500
