Question

Divide $Rs650$ between Shona and Mona in the Ratio of $8:5$

Answer 1

Given ratio is $8:5$ and we have to divide $Rs650$

So, Sum of terms of ratio$=8+5=13$

First part$=\frac{8}{13}\times 650=\frac{8}{13}\times 13\times 50=8\times 50=400Rs$

Second part$=\frac{5}{13}\times 650=\frac{5}{13}\times 13\times 50=5\times 50=250Rs$

Hence Shona gets $Rs400$ and Mona gets $Rs250$
