Question

If rs. 450 is divided among three people in the ratio 1/3 : 3/5 : 5/7, then find how much the second person will get?

Answer 1

Answer:

the 2nd person will get 3/5 of rs450

so,       3/5 of 450

          =3/5 * 450

          =3 * 90

          =270

therefore, the 2nd person will get Rs.270

Answer 2

The total amount of the second person is equal to ₹ 270.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\dfrac{1}{3}x, \dfrac{3}{5}x$ and $\dfrac{5}{7} x$ be the three parts.

To find, the total amount second person will get = ?

∴ The total amount of the second person

= $\dfrac{3}{5} x$

= $\dfrac{3}{5} \times 450$

= ₹ 3 × 90

= ₹ 270

∴ The total amount of the second person = ₹ 270

Thus, the total amount of the second person is equal to ₹ 270.
