Question

Divide 84 chocolates between two children in the ratio
1.5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sum of both ratio terms = 5+7 = 12

∴ First child's share = 5/12 × 84 = 35

∴ Second child's share = 7/12 × 84 = 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Question -:

Divide 84 chocolates between two children in the ratio 1 : 5.

$\huge\bold{\mathfrak{\purple{A{\pink {n {\green {s{\blue{w{\red{e {\orange {r}}}}}}}}}}}}}$

Given -:

Number of chocolates = 84.

Number of children = 2.

Ratio = 1 : 5.

Sum of the ratio terms = 1 + 5 = 6.

Share of the 1st child =

$\frac{1}{5} \times 84 = 14 \: chocolates.$

Share of the 2nd child =

$\frac{5}{6} \times 84 = 70 \: chocolates.$

So, the first child got 14 chocolates and the second child got 70 chocolates.

Verification -:

To check if you got the right answer, just add up these two numbers and see if you get the number of chocolates you divided.

$14 + 70 = 84 \: chocolates.$

Since we got 84, which we divided,

Hence verified.
