Question

Share 24 beads in the ratio 5:3

Answer 1

One person gets 15 beads, and the other gets 9.

Explanation:

We can add 5+3, and then divide 24 by 8 to get 3. Then, we can multiply both pieces of the ratio by 3, to get the final portions.

5*3=15

3*3=9

Answer 2

15:9

Explanation:

Share 24 beads in a ratio 5:3

Step 1: Calculate the total number of parts in the ratio.

5 + 3 = 8

Step 2: Determine the value of each part. Total beads (24) divided by total parts (8):

24 ÷ 8 = 3

Step 3: Multiply the value of each part by the respective ratio numbers.

5 x 3 = 15

3 x 3 = 9

So, the answer is 15:9
