Question

If three farmers share some bags of fertilizers in the ratio 3:4:5.if the smallest share is 18 bags.what is the largest share

Answer 1

The largest share is 30 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the largest share, we need to determine the ratio between the smallest share and the largest share. Since the ratio between the smallest and largest shares is 3:5, we can set up a proportion to find the largest share:

3/5 = 18/L

Cross multiplying, we get:

3L = 18 * 5

Simplifying, we find that the largest share is:

L = 90/3 = 30 bags
