Answer 2

Question :

Meena bought 5 sandwiches from her school canteen and shared them with her friends in the ratio 2:1:1. What fraction of total did each of them get.

Given :

• Total number of sandwiches bought = 5
• Shared with 3 friends in the ratio of 2 : 1 : 1

To find :

• What fraction of total each of them got/

Concept :

First let's add the ratios, then divide that by the total number of sandwiches then divide that in the ratio 2 : 1 : 1 to each of them.

Solution :

Let's add the ratios :

⇒ Total ratio = 2 + 1 + 1

⇒ Total ratio = 4

Now divide it by total number of sandwiches :

⇒ 5/4

⇒ 1.25

Now first friend got :

⇒ 1st friend got = 2 * 1.25

⇒ 1st friend got = 2.5

2nd friend got :

⇒ 2nd friend got = 1 * 1.25

⇒ 2nd friend got = 1.25

3rd friend got :

⇒ 3rd friend got = 1 * 1.25

⇒ 3rd friend got = 1.25

Therefore,

∴ First friend got 2.5 of total and other two friends got 1.25 of total respectively.
