Question

if 121 chocolates are shared in the ratio 7:4 the smaller share will be____chocolates

Answer 1

In such questions we begin by assuming the exact values.

Let the shares be 7x and 4x as we are given the ratio 7 : 4.

Now we are also given the total number of chocolates i.e. 121

Total chocolates = 121
7x + 4x = 121
11x = 121
x = 121 / 11
x = 11

Hence,

The shares will be ( 7 * 11 ) and ( 4 * 11 ) i.e. 77 and 44.

Since, 77 > 44

The smaller share = 44

Answer 2

take 7x and 4x adda both 7x+4x=11x ÷ by 121 we get x= 11 mult by 4 we get 44 so it is ans
