Answer 2

➤ Correct Question :-

Person 1 and Person 2 shared 60 sweets with the ratio of 1:4. How much sweets did Person 2 get with.

$\:$

★ How to do :-

Here, we are given with total sweets with two people. We are asked to divide all the 60 sweets among both persons in the ratio of 1:4. We are also asked that how many sweets did person 2 get with. So, first we should find the total number of sweets that each of them will get and then, we can find the number of sweets obtained to the 2nd person. So, here we are going to use an other concept called as variables which are also known as alphabets. We find the value of that variable amd then find the final answer. So, let's solve!!

$\:$

➤ Solution :-

${\tt \leadsto 1 : 4 = 60}$

Apply the variable x on both part of ratio.

${\tt \leadsto 1x + 4x = 60}$

Add both the numbers having same variable.

${\tt \leadsto 5x = 60}$

Shift the number 5 from LHS to RHS, changing it's sign.

${\tt \leadsto x = \dfrac{60}{5}}$

Simplify the fraction to get the value of x.

${\tt \leadsto x = \cancel \dfrac{60}{5} = 12}$

$\:$

Shares of Person 1 :-

${\tt \leadsto 1x = 1 \times 12}$

${\tt \leadsto 12 \: \: sweets}$

Shares of Person 2 :-

${\tt \leadsto 4x = 4 \times 12}$

${\tt \leadsto 48 \: \: sweets}$

$\Huge\therefore$ The total number of sweets obtained to person 2 is 48.
