Question

Divide 104000 among A Band C in the ratio 1/2:1/3:1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

LCM of 2, 3 and 4 is 12

THE RATIO FORMED IS 6/12 : 4/12 : 3/12

a = 104000 x 6/12

  = 52000

b = 104000 x 4/12

  = 34666.666....

c = 104000 x 3/12

  = 26000

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

take lcm of 2,3 and 4

which is = 12

multiply each fraction by the lcm

A = 1/2*12 = 6

B = 1/3*12 = 4

C = 1/4*12 = 3

now divide the amount in the above ratio

6x+4x+3x=104000

13x=104000

x=8000

A gets = 6x = 6*8000=48000

B gets = 4x= 4*8000 =32000

C gets = 3x= 3*8000 =24000
