Question

Divide 48 marbles into the ratio of 3:1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let a part be 3x

and another part be 1x = x

the total part be 3x+ x = 4x

therefore, 48 = 4x

=> x = 48/4

=> x = 12

hence, 3x = (12*3) = 36

x = 12.

hope this will be helpful.

Answer 2

The 48 marbles will be divided into 36 and 12.

Given,

The number of Marbles = 48.
The ratio to divide into = 3 : 1.

To Find,

The Ratio of the marbles.

Solution,

Before solving the question, let's understand the concept of ratio.

Ratio:- Essentially, the ratio indicates how much of one quantity is present in the other quantity based on a comparison between two quantities of the same units.

The ratio is denoted by ':' between the two quantities.

The ratio of two numbers can also be written as a fraction.

Now, let's solve the question,

Let the quantity of one unit be 'x.'

So,

The ratio will be 3x and 1x.

Equation formed will be 3x+1x = 48.

Now, we will find the value of x using the above equation,

⇒ 3x+1x = 48

⇒ 4x = 48

⇒ x = 12.

So, the value of one unit = 12

Now, we will out the value of x in 3x and 1x.

⇒ 3x = 3×12 = 36.

⇒ 1x = 1×12 = 12.

The 48 marbles will be divided into 36 and 12.
