Question

If four people l, b, y, m are getting salary in ratio of 6: 4: 8 : 2 and y is getting 1500 more than the m, then find out the salary of b?

Answer 1

Answer:

ratio compares two numbers using a fraction. Ratios can be written three different ways: (1) 2 to 3 (2) 2:3 (3) 2/3 They all mean the same thing. Pretend I have a class of 25 students: 10 students are boys and 15 are girls. I can compare number of boys to girls using the ratio 10/15 (or 10:15; or 10 to 15).

Answer 2

L:B:Y:M

6x:4x:8x:2x

Y= M+1500

8x= 2x + 1500

X = (1500/6)

Then B= 4x

= 4*(1500/6)

= 1000
