Answer:
We will follow the rules of dividing a quantity in a given ratio (two or three) to solve different types of problems.
1. 20 apples are distributed between Aaron and Ben in the ratio 2 : 3. Find, how many does each get?
Solution:
Aaron and Ben get apples in the ratio 2 : 3 i.e. if Aaron gets 2 parts, B should get 3 parts.
In other words, if we make (2 + 3) = 5 equal parts, then Aaron should get 2 parts out of these 5 equal part
i.e. Aaron gets = 2/5 of the total number of apples = 2/5 of 20 = 2/5 × 20 = 8 apples
Similarly, Ben gets 3 parts out of 5 equal parts
i.e. Ben gets = 3/5 of the total number of apples = 3/5 of 20 = 3/5 × 20 = 12 apples
Therefore, Aaron gets 8 apples and Ben gets 12 apples.
