Question

Divide 240g in the ratio 5:3:4

Answer 1

Answer:

Total weight=240g

Ratio=5:3:4

5x+3x+4x=240

12x=240

x=20

5x=100

3x=60

4x=80

Therefore 100g:60g:80g

Answer 2

The three divisions are 100g, 60g and 80g

Given : Total weight is 240g and the ratio for division is 5:3:4

To find : The three divisions according to the given ratio.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the three divisions)

Let, the three divisions = 5x grams, 3x grams and 4x grams

(obtained from the ratio 5:3:4)

Sum of the three divisions = (5x+3x+4x) = 12x grams

According to the data mentioned in the question,

12x = 240

x = 240/12

x = 20

First division = 5x = 5×20 = 100g

Second division = 3x = 3×20 = 60g

Third division = 4x = 4×20 = 80g

(These will be considered as the final results.)

Hence, the three divisions are 100g, 60g and 80g
