Question

If three farmers share some bags of fertilizers in the ratio 3:4:5.if the smallest share is 18 bags.what is the largest share

Answer 1

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the ratios = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12

Smallest share = 18 bags

Ratio of the smallest share = 3

Let the largest share = x

From the question

18 ------------ 3

x --------------5

Cross multiply

3x = 18 × 5

Dividing bothsides by 3

X = 18 × 5/ 3

X = 90 / 3

X = 30

Therefore.

The largest share = 30
