Divide 72 rolls into 2 groups so that the ratio is 3 to 5.

Asked by salahali451

Answer (3)

If the ratio is 3:5 then there are 8 parts (3+5=8)
To find 1 part, divide 72 by 8 to give 9
Then multiply 9 by each of the numbers in the ratio: 3 9=37 5 9=45
So the rolls will be split into one group of 27 and one group of 45

To **divide **72 rolls into two groups with a 3 to 5 ratio, find the sum of the ratio (8), divide 72 by 8 to get 9 as the value of each part of the ratio, and then distribute the rolls into the two groups in accordance with the ratio, resulting in group one having 27 rolls and group two having 45 rolls. ;
