2500:1250:1250 Ans.
1+1/2+1/2= 1+0.5+0.5.
5000/2=2500.
1*2500=2500.
0.5*2500=1250.
0.5*2500=1250.
2500+1250+1250= 5000.

I had rs 5000. I have to distribute between 3 people. In ratio 1:1/2:1/2. How did you divide it?

Do LCM of 2,3,4.=12.

Now 1/2*12=6,2/3*12=8,3/4*12=9. That's 6:8:9.

Simplify: (2x-4) - (6x+6).

Johnny said:   8 years ago
I don't understand it, can someone explain?

Prashant said:   8 years ago
1st take the LCM of all denominators i.e 2,3,4 is 24 then multiply each ratio by 24. 1/2*24=12 , 2/3*24=16, 3/4*24=18.

Therefore ans is 12:16:18.
i.e 6:8:9. That's over
