Question

In a fruit salad, apples, chikoos and grapes are used in the ratio 6: 5:4 by weight. If the total
weight of the fruit salad is 13.5 kg, find the weight of each kind of fruit used.​

Answer 1

Apples: chikoos: grapes

= 6:5:4

Sum of ratio = 15

Total weight= 13.5 kg

Apples weighs = 6/15 * 13.5

                         = $\frac{6}{15} *\frac{135}{10}$

                         = $3 * \frac{9}{5}$

                         = 27/5 = 5.4 kg

Chikoos weighs = 5/15 * 13.5 kg

                           = $\frac{5}{15} *\frac{135}{10}$

                           = 9/2kg = 4.5 kg

Grapes weighs = 4/15 * 13.5kg

                          = $\frac{4}{15} *\frac{135}{10} kg$

                          = $2 *\frac{9}{5}$ kg

                          = 18/5 = 3.6kg

_________________________________________________

Let us verify our answer is correct or not-

5.4 Kg + 4.5 Kg + 3.6 Kg = 13.5kg

13.5 kg = 13.5kg

LHS = RHS

Hence, the answer is correct...................
