If 600 mangoes were shared among three children in the ratio 2:5:3. How many mangoes did the child with the most share get
To find out how many mangoes the child with the most share got, we first need to find the total number of parts in the ratio. The given ratio is 2:5:3, so the total parts in the ratio is 2 + 5 + 3 = 10.
Next, we divide the total number of mangoes (600) by the total parts in the ratio (10) to find the value of one part. So, each part represents 600/10 = 60 mangoes.
Since the child with the most share has a ratio of 5 out of 10 parts, we can multiply the value of one part by 5 to find their share. Thus, the child with the most share received 60 * 5 = 300 mangoes.
Therefore, the child with the most share received 300 mangoes.
