Question

The ages of two boys A and B are 6 years 8 months and 7 years 4 months respectively.
Divide rs.3150 in the ratio of their ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Boy A= 6 + 8/12

= 72 + 8/12

= 80/12

= 20/3

Boy B = 7 + 4/12

= 7 + 1/3

= 21 + 1/ 3

= 22/3

Now,

Ratio= 20/3:22/3

= 10:11

To divide ₹3150 in the ratio of 10:11.

Let boy A be 10x and boy B be 11x,

Then,

10x+11x = ₹3150

21x = ₹3150

X = ₹3150/21

X = ₹150

Now,

Boy A= 10x = 10×150

₹1500

Boy B= 11x = 11 × 150

₹1650
