Question

the ratio of the number of blue balls to the number of green balls to the number of yellow balls in a basket is 2:3:5 there are 80 balls in the basket how many blue balls are there​

Answer 1

Given :

• The ratio of the number of blue balls to the number of green balls to the number of yellow balls in a basket is 2:3:5.

• The sum of the total balls = 80.

To find :

• The number of Blue balls =?

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Balls : Green Balls : Yellow Balls = 2 : 3 : 5

The sum of the total balls = 80. [Given]

Now,

Let, the ratio of the number of blue balls to the number of green balls to the number of yellow balls in a basket be 2x, 3x and 5x.

According to the question :

2x + 3x + 5x = 80

10x = 80

x = 80/10

x = 8

Thus, The Value of x = 8.

Hence,

The number of Blue Balls = 2x ➮ 2 × 8 = 16 Balls

The number of Green Balls= 3x ➮ 3 × 8 = 24 Balls

The number of Yellow Balls = 5x ➮ 5 × 8 = 40 Balls.

Therefore, The number of Blue Balls = 16 Balls.

Verification :

Sum of the total balls = 80 balls

2x + 3x + 5x = 80

2 × 8 + 3 × 8 + 5 × 8 = 80 [ ∵ x = 8]

16 + 24 + 40 = 80

80 = 80

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, it is verified.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,.

Ratio= 2:3:5

No.of balls= 80

Let x be a integer

2x+3x+5x=80

10x=80

x=8

We taken the ratio has 2x:3x:5x

So,.

2x=2(8)=16

3x=3(8)=24

5x=5(8)=40

sum of them= 16+24+40

=80
