Question

Three boys sold garlands in the ratio of 2:3:4. Together they sold 225 garlands. How many garlands did each boy sell?

Answer 1

Answer:  50, 75 and 100  (2:3:4) for a total of 225

Step-by-step explanation:

2+3+4 = 9

Each can be expressed as a fraction:

2/9

3/9

4/9

(2/9 + 3/9 + 4/9 = 1)

2/9 * 225 =  50

3/9 * 225 =   75

4/9 * 225 =  100

                   225
