Answer» ong>ANSWER: Rules of dividing a quantity in three given ratios is explained below along with the different types of examples. If a quantity K is DIVIDED into three parts in the RATIO X : Y : Z, then First part = X/(X + Y + Z) × K, Second part = Y/(X + Y + Z) × K, Third part = Z/(X + Y + Z) × K. For example, suppose, we have to divide $ 1200 among X, Y, Z in the ratio 2 : 3 : 7. This means that if X gets 2 portions, then Y will get 3 portions and Z will get 7 portions. Thus, total portions = 2 + 3 + 7 = 12. So, we have to divide $ 1200 into 12 portions and then distribute the portions among X, Y, Z according to their share. Thus, X will get 2/12 of $ 1200, i.e., 2/12 × 1200 = $ 200 Y will get 3/12 of $ 1200, i.e., 3/12 × 1200 = $ 300 Z will get 7/12 of $ 1200, i.e., 7/12 × 1200 = $ 700 |
