Question

Divide 72 chocolates between Ashish and Sheela in the ratio 3:5,​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Ashish receive 3x chocolates and Sheela receive 5x chocolates.

But then,

3x + 5x = 72

⇒ x = 72/8 = 9

∴ Ashish will receive 3x = 3 × 9 = 27 chocolates,

Sheela will receive 5x = 5 × 9 = 45 chocolates.
