Question

divide 120 among a,b,c in the ratio 2:3:5

Answer 1

Answer:

a=24

b=36

c=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio value be x.

a=2x, b=3x, c=5x

so,

2x+3x+5x=120

10x=120

x=12

THEREFORE, a=2x=2×12=24 b=3x=3×12=36 c=5x=5×12=60

VERIFICATION,

a+b+c=120

24+36+60=120

Answer 2

Answer:

a= 24, b= 36, c = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 2:3:5

= 2x : 3x : 5x

= 2x+3x+5x = 120

= 10x = 120

=x = 120/10

=x = 12

therefore, A = 2x = 2 * 12 = 24

                 B = 3x = 3* 12 = 36

                 c = 5x = 5*12 = 60

Verification,

a + b + c = 120

24 + 36 + 60 = 120
