Question

Divide 1,000 between Reena and Rami in such
way that one-third of Reena's share equals half the
share of Rami.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rita gets 300 rupees and Seema gets 200 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to divide Rs. 500 between Rita and Seema.

Let the amount of Rita be x.

Then the amount of Seema will be 500 - x.

Given that 1/3 of Rita = 1/2 of Seema.

⇒ 1/3 × x = 1/2 × (500 - x)

⇒ x/3 = 250 - x/2

⇒ x/3 + x/2 = 250

⇒ 5x/6 = 250

⇒ x = 300.

If the share of Rita is 300. Then the share of seema will be 500 - 300 = 200.

Hence, Rita gets 300 rupees and Seema gets 200 rupees.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the share be (x) and (1000 -x)

1/3 of share of rita =1/2 of share of seema

1/3×x = 1/2×(1000-x)

x/3 = 1000-x/2

x/3 = 500-x/2

x/3+x/2 = 500

5x/6 = 500

5x = 500×6

5x = 3000

x = 3000/5

x = 600

reena = 600

rami = 1000-600 = 400
