Question

Ron and Andy collected stamps in the ratio of 6 : 5. If Ron collects 36 stamps, how many stamps did they collect altogether ?

Answer 1

Total number of stamps did they collect altogether are "66".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 6x and 5x be the stamps collected by Ron and Andy.

Given,

Ron collects 36 stamps = 36

⇒ 6x = 36

⇒ x = $\dfrac{36}{6}$

⇒ x = 6

∴ 5x = 5 × 6 = 30

∴ Total number of stamps did they collect altogether = 6x + 5x

= 36 + 30 = 66

Hence, Total number of stamps did they collect altogether are "66".
