Question

You share your packet of 48 jelly beans with your sister in the ratio 5:3. How many

jelly beans will you get?
(3)​

Answer 1

30 jellybeans

Explanation:

5 + 3 = 8 (Total units of jellybeans)

8 units = 48

1 unit = 48 ÷ 8 = 6

Me : Sister

5 : 3

Since I get 5 units...

5 units = 6 x 5 = 30
