rufus and christable share 120 tadpoles in the ratio 3:5.How many tadpoles the easy recive
do u mean how many do they each receive??
it is simple..
there are 8 parts so divide 120 by 8 to get one part then work it out
divide by 120. That gives you ONE part. Now, to get Rufus' share, multiply by three. To get Chrisable's share, multiply the one part by five.
To find out how many tadpoles Rufus receives, divide the total number of tadpoles, which is 120, by the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 3 + 5 = 8.
120/8 = 15
So, each part represents 15 tadpoles.
To get Rufus' share, multiply the one part by three since Rufus's ratio is 3.
15 * 3 = 45
Rufus receives 45 tadpoles.
To get Christable's share, multiply the one part by five since Christable's ratio is 5.
15 * 5 = 75
Christable receives 75 tadpoles.
