Question

divide 25 toffees between two children in the ratio of 1/2:1/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:

Toffees = 25

Ratio = 1/2 : 1/3

Total parts = 1/2 + 1/3

                  = 5/6

1st child = 1/2 / 5/6 x 25

                  = 1/2 x 6/5 x 25

                   = 1 x 3/5 x 25

                   = 1 x  3 x 5

                   = 15

2nd child= 1/3 / 5/6 x 25

                     = 1/3 x 6/5 x 25

                     = 1 x 2/5 x 25

                     = 1 x 2 x 5

                      = 10
