Question

Divide Rs 120 between two students so that one gets 4 times as much as the other​

Answer 1

One would get 96 and another would get 24

Explanation:

So first lets create an equation from the words where 4x is what one students has and x is what another has :

120 = 4x + x

Lets solve this now!

120 = 5x (divide by 5 on both sides)

24 = x (1st Student)

(Multiply by 4 on both side to get the second student)

96 =4x (2nd Student)

Answer 2

One gets Rs 24 and the other Rs 96.

Explanation:

Number of parts = 1 + 4 = 5

So one student gets 1/5 of 120 and the other gets 4/5 of 120

120 * 1/5 = 24

120 *4/5 = 4*24 = 96.
