Question

If mo and Alex shares some raisins in the ratio of 7:5, mo gets 14 more raisins and Alex. How many raisins do they share?

Answer 1

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Just by looking at the ratio, you can see Mo gets 2 more raisins than Alex for every 12 raisins they share. Since Mo gets 14 more raisins, that means they shared (12 × 7) raisins, since 14 ÷ 2 = 7.


`12` ×
`7 = 84`

So they shared 84 raisins together, Mo having 49 and Alex having 35.
