Question

divide 104 pencils among three children in the ratio 1/2 ratio 1/3 ratio 1/4

Answer 1

LET THE RATIO OF THE THREE CHILDREN DISTRIBUTION BE

$\frac{1}{2} x$
$\frac{1}{3} x$
$\frac{1}{4} x$

A/Q
$\frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{1}{4} x = 104 \\ \frac{6x + 4x + 3x}{12} = 104 \\ \\ \frac{13x}{12} = 104 \\ x = 104 \times \frac{12}{13} \\ x = 8 \times 12 \\ x = 96$

1/2x = 1/2 ×96
= 48 pencil

1/3x = 1/3 × 96
= 32 pencil

1/4x = 1/4 × 96
= 24 pencil
