Question

Three numbers are in the ratio of 6:5:1. What are the numbers if the difference between the smallest and largest is 30?

a.48, 40, 18B.36, 30, 6
c.24, 20, 4D.180, 150, 30

Answer 1

Given that the ratios between 3 numbers is 6:5:1 and the difference between the largest and the smallest number is 30, then the numbers will be as follows:
difference in ratio between large and smallest number is:
6-5=5
thus:
largest number=6/5*30=36
medium number=5/5*30=30
smallest number=1/5*30=6

Answer: B.36, 30, 6
