Answer: If 36 articles are shared among A, B, and C in the ratio of 1:3:5, we can find the total number of parts in the ratio by adding the numbers in the ratio: 1 + 3 + 5 = 9. This means that there are 9 equal parts in total.

To find out how many articles each person gets, we need to divide the total number of articles by the total number of parts in the ratio: 36 / 9 = 4.

Therefore, A gets 1 x 4 = 4 articles, B gets 3 x 4 = 12 articles, and C gets 5 x 4 = 20 articles. I hope this helps!
