Answer 2

Answer:

Chocolates received by Ciel are 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

William and Ciel shares chocolates in the ratio 4 : 3

Let,

Chocolates received by William be 4x and Ciel be 3x

William's share includes 48 chocolates. Which means,

$\longrightarrow$ 4x = 48

$\longrightarrow$ x = 48/4

$\longrightarrow$ x = 12

Chocolates received by Ciel =

$\longrightarrow$ 3x

$\longrightarrow$ 3(12)

$\longrightarrow$ 36

Chocolates received by Ciel are 36.

Therefore, chocolates received by Ciel are 36.

__________________________

Verification:

Check whether chocolates received by William and Ciel are in ratio 4 : 3.

$\longrightarrow$ 48 : 36

$\longrightarrow$ 48/36

$\longrightarrow$ (48 ÷ 12)/(36 ÷ 12)

$\longrightarrow$ 4/3

$\longrightarrow$ 4 : 3

Hence verified.
