Question

divide 160 mangoes between two persons in the ratio 2:3

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let A and B are two persons ,

Total mangoes = 160

Ratio mangoes divided between

two persons = 2 : 3

Let A get = 2x

B get = 3x

2x + 3x = 160

5x = 160

x = 160/5

x = 32

Therefore ,

A get = 2x = 2 × 32 = 64

B get = 3x = 3 × 32 = 96

I hope this helps you.

:)

Answer 2

Let the no. of mangoes be 'x'
therefore ratio will be '2x' and '3x'
sum of ratio =160
2x + 3x = 160
5x = 160
x = 32

2x = 64 and 3x = 96
