Answer 2

Answer:

Bob and John will get 24 kg and 36 kg of rice respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of rice is 60 kg

We have to divide this between Bob and John in the ratio 2:3

Let us assume Bob and John get 2x and 3x rice respectively

Then, 2x + 3x = 60

                  5x = 60

                    x = 60/5

                    x = 12

Amount of rice Bob will get = 2x

                                              = 2 × 12

                                              = 24 kg

Amount of rice John will get = 3x

                                               = 3 × 12

                                               = 36 kg
