Question

Two friends have 243 marbles and want to divide among them in the ratio 5:4. Find the share of each one of them.

Answer 1

let the number be 5x and 4x

then 5x+4x=243
      
        9x=243
  
         x=243/9
 
         x=27
 
        now, 5x=27*5=135
 
                 4x=27*4=108
          hence each frnd get 135 &238 marbles
