Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, total number of pens=50

4x+5x=50

9x=50

x=50/9

x=5.5

We cannot divide the 50 pens exactly by the given ratio.

There are 5 remaining pens and those 5 pens are not part of the ratio.

Now we will add the value of x

4x5: 5x5

20 : 25

4:5=20:25

Ratios should be proportional. To check, let us cross multiply.

They should have the same value.

4:5 = 20:25

5 × 20 = 4 × 25

100 = 100
