Question

Proportion
1 1
Divide 880 between Rajan and Kamal in the ratio 1\5:1\6​

Answer 1

Let the money distributed to Kamal and Rajan be 1/5x and 1/6x respectively.

⇒ 1/5x + 1/6x = 880

⇒ (6x + 5x)/30 = 880

⇒ 11x/30 = 880

⇒ x = 880×30/11

⇒ x = 80×30  

⇒ x = 2400

1/5x = x/5 = 2400/5 = 480

1/6x = x/6 = 2400/6 = 400

Therefore it can be divided as 480 and 400.

Answer 2

1/5:1/6
6:5
Rajan share = 6/11*880 =480
Kamal share = 5/11*880=400
