Question

Divide 72 sheeps for four children in a ratio of 5:3:2:2 how many sheeps will each child get

Answer 1

Answer:

let no. of children be 5x, 3x, 2x, and 2x respectivelly

total no. of sheeps = 72

5x+3x+2x+2x=72

12x=72

x=72/12

x=6

Thus each child will get (5x)= 6*5=30 sheep

3x=3*6=18

2x=2*6=12

2x=2*6=12
