Question

Shiza, Sadia and Hashir share out 10 biscuits so that
Shiza has 2, Sadia has 6 and Hashir has the remainder. Later
they share out 220 biscuits in the same ratio. How many does
each have this time?
​

Answer 1

Number of biscuits = 10

Number of biscuits Shiza has = 2

Number of biscuits Sadia has = 6

Number of biscuits Hashir has = 10 - (2 + 6)

= 10 - 8

= 2

ratio = 2 : 6 : 2

= 1 : 3 : 1

sum of the ratio = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5

Number of biscuits to be shared = 220

Shiza gets = 1/5 × 220 = 44 biscuits

Sadia gets = 3/5 × 220 = 132 biscuits

Hashir gets = 1/5 × 220 = 44 biscuits

Answer 2

the share of a is 1/5 and b is 3/5 and c is 1/5.

we can multiply share of each person by his share so we know how many biscuits he taken.
