Question

180 are to be divide among three children in the ratio 1/3 :1/4:1/6 find the share of each child​

Answer 1

The share of each child is 80, 60 and 40 respectively

Explanation:

Step 1 :

Total quantity to be divided = 180

Ratio of each child's share is
`(1)/(3)` :
`(1)/(4)`:
`(1)/(6)`

Sum of the ratios =
`(1)/(3)` +
`(1)/(4)` +
`(1)/(6)` =
`(9)/(12)`

Step 2 :

First child's share is
`(1)/(3)` ÷
`(9)/(12)` × 180 =
`(1)/(3)` ×
`(12)/(9)` × 180 = 80

Second child's share is
`(1)/(4)` ÷
`(9)/(12)` × 180 =
`(1)/(4)` ×
`(12)/(9)` × 180 = 60

Third child's share is
`(1)/(6)` ÷
`(9)/(12)` × 180 =
`(1)/(6)` ×
`(12)/(9)` × 180 = 40

Step 3 :

Answer:

The share of each child is 80, 60 and 40 respectively
