A bag containing 75 sweet was shared between mark and jhon John received 15 more sweet than mark what is the ratio
that the sweets were share in
45:30
To find the ratio in which the sweets were shared between Mark and John, we need to determine the number of sweets each person received.
Given:
Total number of sweets = 75
Let's assume Mark received x sweets.
According to the information given, John received 15 more sweets than Mark. Therefore, John received (x + 15) sweets.
We know that the total number of sweets is the sum of what Mark and John received:
x + (x + 15) = 75
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 15 = 75
2x = 75 - 15
2x = 60
x = 60/2
x = 30
So Mark received 30 sweets, and John received (30 + 15) = 45 sweets.
To find the ratio, we divide the number of sweets each person received by their respective amounts:
Mark's ratio = Mark's sweets / Total number of sweets = 30 / 75 = 2/5
John's ratio = John's sweets / Total number of sweets = 45 / 75 = 3/5
Therefore, the ratio in which the sweets were shared between Mark and John is 2:3.
