Three sisters shared some mangoes in the ratio of 5:3:2.if one with the smallest ratio received 25 mangoes, find the number of mangoes shared?

I assume by "one with the smallest ratio" you mean the one who received the smallest amount. In that case, multiply everything by 25/2 and the ratios become

125/2 : 75/2 : 25

But that requires some split mangoes. The total is 125 mangoes.

125 mangoes

Thank you so much

125 is the answer to the question 👍👍

I solve it and i get 120 mangoes, why I get it different?

i dont even know why i came here😤😤

Don't get the solvings

Did you know?

Did you know that ratios can be used to divide objects or quantities among different groups? In the example given, three sisters shared some mangoes in the ratio of 5:3:2. This means that for every 5 mangoes the first sister received, the second sister received 3, and the third sister received 2. If the sister with the smallest ratio received 25 mangoes, we can calculate the total number of mangoes shared by adding up the ratios. In this case, the total ratio is 5 + 3 + 2 = 10. To find the number of mangoes shared, we divide 25 by the total ratio and then multiply by each individual ratio. So, the first sister received (25/10) x 5 = 12.5 mangoes, the second sister received (25/10) x 3 = 7.5 mangoes, and the third sister received (25/10) x 2 = 5 mangoes. Therefore, the total number of mangoes shared is 12.5 + 7.5 + 5 = 25 mangoes.
