Answer:

A: 4 articles

B: 12 articles

C: 20 articles

Explanation:

The ratio of articles shared among A, B, and C is 1:3:5, which means that A gets 1 part, B gets 3 parts, and C gets 5 parts. If we let the ratio be x:3x:5x, then A gets x articles, B gets 3x articles, and C gets 5x articles.

Since the total number of articles is 36, we can set up the following equation:

x + 3x + 5x = 36

Combining like terms, we get:

9x = 36

Dividing both sides by 9, we get


\sf (9x)/(9)=(36)/(9)

x = 4

Therefore, A gets 4 articles, B gets 3 × 4 = 12 articles, and C gets 4 × 5 = 20 articles.

So, the answer is:

  • A: 4 articles
  • B: 12 articles
  • C: 20 articles
