Question

Stial has 26 stamps.mita and stial will divide the stamps into 8:5ratio. Find how many stamps each of they have

Answer 1

Answer:

Mita has 16 stamps and Sital has 10 stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sital has 26 stamps.

Mita and Sital divide in 8:5 ratio.

Let Mita have 8x stamps.

Thus, Sital will have 5x stamps.

As they have divided the stamps from total,

8x + 5x = 26

=> 13x = 26

∴ x = 26/13 => 2

∴ Mita and Sital have 8(2) => 16 and 5(2) => 10 stamps respectively.
