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:

A = 6 years 8 months = 6 + 8/12 years = 6 + 2/3 years = 20/3 years

B = 7 years 4 months = 7 + 4/12 years = 7 + 1/3 years = 22/3 years

A : B

= 20/3 : 22/3 (multiply with 3)

= 20 : 22

= 10 : 11

The A portion of the money

= 10/(10 + 11) × 3,150

= 10/21 × 3,150

= 1,500

The B portion of the money

= 11/21 × 3,150

= 1,650
