Question

A and B are two brothers. A weigh 50 kg and B weigh 45 kg. if they divide 285 g of roasted meat in the ratio of their weight, how many grams does each get? ​

Answer 1

Share of A = 150 grams

Share if B = 135 grams

Explanation:

Weight of A = 50 kg

Weight of B = 45 kg

ratio of weights = 50 : 45 = 10 : 9

Let the common multiplier of the ratio be x.

-> 10x + 9x = 285

-> 19x = 285

-> x = 285/19

-> x = 15

-> 10x = 150

-> 9x = 135

Share of A = 150 grams

Share if B = 135 grams
