Question

When 720 apples are shared in the ratio of1/5 : 3/10 : 7/10. Find each persons share.

Answer 1

To find the shares you have to first find the total ratio.

1/5 + 3/10 + 7/10

=6/5

Ist share is.

its ratio/total ratio × total share

1/5/6/5×720

1/5×5/6×720

You will get 1/6×720

120

Therefore 1st share is 120.

Similarly, we can find the other 2 shares.

By doing , you will get 2nd share as 180 and 3rd share as 420.
