Question

Yaa is 10 years kwasi is 20 years and they share 60 mangoes and to a ratio of their ages find what each of them will get

Answer 1

Answer:

Yaa gets 20 oranges while Kwasi gets 40 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

We will add both ages= 10+20=30

Then we will pick yaa's age/ their total ages multiplied by the amount of oranges= 10/30 * 60

yaa will get= 600/30 = 20 oranges

Then Kwasi's age/their total ages multiplied by the amount of oranges= 20/30* 60=

1200/30= 40 oranges

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Yaa's age = 10 years

Kwasi's age = 20 years

They share the mangoes in the ratio of their ages

That's

10 : 20 = 1 : 2

Total number of mangoes = 60

Total parts = 1 + 2 = 3

Yaa's share

$\frac{1}{3} \times 60$

= 20 mangoes

Kwasi's share

$\frac{2}{3} \times 60$

= 2 × 20

= 40 mangoes
