Rajesh gets Rs 240 per month. He spends one-third of it on ice creams ,one-half on comic books and the remaining on wafers . Find the ratio of the money spent on each item
To find the ratio of the money spent on each item, we need to determine the amount of money Rajesh spends on each item.
Let's calculate the amount of money Rajesh spends on each item:
1. Rajesh spends one-third of his monthly income on ice creams.
Amount spent on ice creams = (1/3) * Rs 240
= Rs 80
2. Rajesh spends one-half of his monthly income on comic books.
Amount spent on comic books = (1/2) * Rs 240
= Rs 120
3. The remaining amount is spent on wafers.
Amount spent on wafers = Total income - Amount spent on ice creams - Amount spent on comic books
= Rs 240 - Rs 80 - Rs 120
= Rs 40
Therefore, Rajesh spends Rs 80 on ice creams, Rs 120 on comic books, and Rs 40 on wafers.
The ratio of the money spent on each item can be represented as:
Ice creams: Comic books: Wafers
80:120:40
Simplifying the ratio by dividing each part by 40, we get:
2:3:1
So, the ratio of the money spent on ice creams, comic books, and wafers is 2:3:1.
2:3:1
1/3 = 2/6
1/2 = 3/6
so 1/6 on wafers
so
2/3/1
