Zorluk: KolayDividing in a Ratio

A base commander is distributing a total of 240240 new combat helmets to two platoons in a ratio of 5:35:3. How many helmets will the platoon with the smaller share receive?

Cevap: 90 helmets

Cevap

The platoon with the smaller share will receive 90 helmets.
To find the smaller share, first add the ratio parts together to find the total number of parts (5+3=85 + 3 = 8). Next, divide the total number of helmets by the total parts (240÷8=30240 \div 8 = 30) to find the value of one part. Finally, multiply the value of one part by the smaller ratio number (30×3=9030 \times 3 = 90).
