Khanya is giving away all her toys.There are 60 toys in the box .There are teddy bears,dolls and other stuffed animals in the ratio 3:2:1 .How many bears is she giving away?
Let there be 3x bears.
3x + 2x + x = 60
3 dolls
To find out how many teddy bears Khanya is giving away, first, let's calculate the total number of parts in the ratio:
3 + 2 + 1 = 6
Now, we can find the number of toys represented by each part of the ratio by dividing the total number of toys (60) by the total number of parts in the ratio (6):
60 ÷ 6 = 10
So, each part of the ratio represents 10 toys.
Since the ratio is 3:2:1 for teddy bears, dolls, and other stuffed animals, we can determine the number of teddy bears by multiplying the value of each part (10) by the ratio value for teddy bears (3):
10 × 3 = 30
Therefore, Khanya is giving away 30 teddy bears.
To determine the number of bears Khanya is giving away, we first need to find the total number of parts in the ratio.
The ratio given for teddy bears, dolls, and other stuffed animals is 3:2:1. When we add up these parts (3 + 2 + 1), we get a total of 6 parts.
Now, we can find the number of bears by dividing the total toys by the total number of parts in the ratio.
We are given that there are 60 toys in the box, so we divide this number by 6:
60 toys ÷ 6 = 10 toys per part
Now, to find the number of bears, we multiply the number of parts assigned to bears (which is 3) by the number of toys per part (10):
3 parts x 10 toys per part = 30 bears
Therefore, Khanya is giving away 30 bears.
