Question

Divide$20$pens between Sheela and Sangeeta in a ratio of $3:2.$

Answer 1

Compute the required value:

Division ratio$3:2=3$ and $2$

Sum of these terms $=3+2$$=5$.

Sheela will get $\frac{3}{5}$of the total pens

Sangeeta will get$\frac{2}{5}$of the total pens

Number of pens having with Sheela $$\begin{gathered} =\frac{3}{5}\times 20 \\ =3\times 4 \\ =12 \end{gathered}$$

Number of pens having with Sangeeta $$\begin{gathered} =\frac{2}{5}\times 20 \\ =2\times 4 \\ =8 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore,

Number of pens having with Sheela $\mathbf{=}\mathbf{12}$

Number of pens having with Sangeeta$\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{8}$
