Question

Divide 40 chocolates between Nisha and Shyam in the ratio 2:3

Answer 1

Answer:

Nisha gets 16 chocolates and Shyam gets 24 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

40 chocolates have to be divided in the ratio 2:3.

Take the number of chocolates Nisha gets as 2x and Shyam gets as 3x.

2x+3x = 40, 5x = 40

x = 40/5 = 8

therefore, Nisha gets 2*8 = 16 chocolates and Shyam gets 3*8 = 24 chocolates.

No. of chocolates given to NISHA =

$\frac{2}{5} \times 40 = \frac{80}{5} = 16$

No. of chocolates given to Shyam=

$\frac{3}{5} \times 40 = \frac{120}{5} = 24$
