Question

Divide rs 480 between A and B in the ratio 1 1/2:1 2/4.

Answer 1

A = Rs. 192 and B = Rs. 288

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total amount = Rs. 480

Let the amount of A and B = $\dfrac{3}{2}x, \dfrac{9}{4}x$

To find, the values of A and B = ?

According to question,

$\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{9}{4}x=480$

⇒$\dfrac{6+9}{4}x=480$

⇒ $\dfrac{15}{4}x=480$

⇒ $x=\dfrac{480\times 4}{15}$

⇒ $x=32\times 4=128$

∴ A $=\dfrac{3}{2}\times 128=192$ and

B$=\dfrac{9}{4}\times 128=32\times 9=288$

Hence, A = Rs. 192 and B = Rs. 288

Answer 2

Answer:

A = 240 and B = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A get = 3/2x and B get = 6/4x of the total amount

Total amount = Rs. 480

Therefore, we can say = 3/2x + 6/4x = 480

[LCM of 2 and 4 is 4] => 3×2 + 6×1 /4 = 480x

=> 6+6/4 = 480x

=> 12/4 = 480x

=> x = 480/3

=> x = 160

Therfore, A gets = 3/2×160 = 240 and

B gets = 6/4×160=240.
