Question

divide 20 pens between david and sarah in the ratio 3:2​

Answer 1

Answer:

David will get 12 pens

Sarah Will get 8 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of pens = 20

Let the no. of pens given to David be 3x

So, tye no. of pens given to Sarah = 2x

B/P, 3x + 2x = 20

=>5x = 20

=> x = 4

therefore, David will get 3x = 3 × 4 = 12 pens

Sarah will get 2x = 2 × 4 = 8 pens

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the ratio be x

Let 3:2 be 3x:2x

Total number of pens = 3x + 2x = 5x

3x + 2x = 20

5x = 20

x = 4

Pen to be given to david =3x= 3 × 4 = 12 pens

Pens to be given to Sarah = 2x = 2× 4 = 8 pens
