Question

tom distributed chocolates among his friends kevin and alex in ratio 2:1 if he had 12 chocolates how many did kevin get?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kevin gets 8 chocolates

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 2 : 1

Sum of ratio = 1 + 2 = 3

No of chocolates = 12

Kevin's share = 2/3 ☓ 12

Kevin's share = 2 ☓ 4 = 8 chocolate

Alex share = 1/3 ☓ 12 = 4 ☓ 1 = 4 chocolate.

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Heya mate! Here is your answer ✌☺☺



Given, Tom distributed chocolates among his friends Kevin and Alex in the ratio 2 : 1


Let the common constant be x

Let the numbers in the ratio 2 : 1 be 2x and 1x i.e x

Total chocolates = 12


According to the question,

2x + x = 12

➾ 3x = 12

➾ x = $\dfrac{12}{3}$

➾ x = 4



No. of chocolates given to Kelvin ➾ 2x

➾ 2 × 4

➾ $\underline{8}$✔✔


No. of chocolates given to Alex ➾ x

➾ $\underline{4}$✔✔
