Question

divide these numbers in a given ratio
36kg in the ratio 1:3:5

Answer 1

first we need to divide 36kg by the sum of 1,3 and 5

$=\frac{36}{9}\\ =4$

let 4 be x

so ratio is 1x:3x:5x

$=4:12:20$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be 'x'

1x + 3x + 5x = 36 kg

9x= 36 kg

x= 36/9= 4 kg

∴1x= 4*1= 4 kg

3x = 4*3= 12 kg

5x= 4*5= 20 kg

VERIFY:

4 + 12 + 20= 36 kg
