Solution

Step-1: Given Information
$V i n o d : A s h w i n : T u s h a r = 2 : 3 : 4$
If Vinod scored $2$ goals
Then Ashwin scored $3$ goals and Tushar scored $2$ goals
Step-2: Add together the number of parts in the ratio $2 : 3 : 4$ or Find the total number of goals
Find the total number of goals $=$ $2 + 3 + 4 =$ $9$
Step-3: Find the number of goals Vinod and Ashwin scored altogether
The number of goals Vinod and Ashwin scored altogether $= G o l a s s c o r e d b y V i n o d + g o a l s s c o r e d b y A s h w i n$
The number of goals Vinod and Ashwin scored altogether $= 2 + 3 = 5$
Step-4: write the number of goals Vinod and Ashwin scored altogether as a fraction
$\frac{G o a l s s c o r e d b y V i n o d a n d A s h w i n a l t o g e t h e r}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f g o a l s s c o r e d} =$ $\frac{5}{9}$
Hence, goals Vinod and Aswin scored altogetheas a fraction $=$ $\frac{5}{9}$
