Question

The ratio of a share to b share is 3 : 5. If b share is 600 rupees find a share

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs 360 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is the comparison of two quantities .

Here a : b = 3 : 5 .

So a divided by b = 3 divided by 5.

This can be written as :

a / b = 3 / 5

Now note that 3 / 5 is the same as 3 x / 5 x .

So we can say that a = 3 x and b = 5 x .

a / b = 3 x / 5 x = 3 / 5 will remain unchanged.

So a = 3 x , b = 5 x .

Now it is given that the share of b = Rs 600 .

So 5 x = 600

= > x = 600 / 5

= > x = 120

This means that the value of x = 120.

Now a was 3 x

= 3 x × 120

= Rs 360

Thus the share of a is Rs 360 .
