Question

dlvide 50 fruits in the ratio 3:2.​

Answer 1

Answer:

fruit a = 30, fruit b = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of fruits = 50

Ratio of fruits = 3:2

Lets write down 3:2 as 3x:2x because we need to find the number of fruits in this ratio.

Now, lets solve the equation and find the value of x:

3x + 2x = 50

=      5x = 50

=        x = $\frac{50}5$                  - this is because we have transposed 5 to the other side

=        x = 10

Therefore, x = 10

Now, lets find 3x and 2x:

3 × 10 = 30

2 × 10 = 20

Therefore, the fruits are in the ratio 30:20, which when simplified comes back to 3:2.

So, fruit a = 30

     fruit b = 20
