Question

Three friends share some mangoes as follows;Fred receives 2 out of 5 the total, and the reminder is shared between yaw and kwame in the ratio 3:5. How many mangoes did kwame receive if yaw's share was 84 mangoes.​

Answer 1

Given that the ratio between Yaw and Kwame is 3:5

So,
`\rm{\blue{Yaw:Kwame} = 3:5 = 84:n}`

`\rm{\red{n = 84 * 5 / 3} = 140 \: mangoes }`

Hence, the answer is
`\rm{\blue{140} \: mangoes}`
