Question

In a cricket match Dhoni and Dravid scored $185$ runs. If their score was in the ratio $18:19$, how many runs did each of them score?

Answer 1

Given the ratio of the score of Dhoni and David was $18:19$

i.e. $\frac{18}{18+19}=\frac{18}{37}$ part of their total score was made by Dhoni and the rest done by David.

So Dhoni made $185\times \frac{18}{37}=90$ runs and David done $185-90=95$ runs.
