Question

Olu, Ojo and Oye are to share 120 mangoes in the ratio 1:2:3 respectively. How many mangoes will Ojo, and Oye both have

Answer 1

To share the 120 mangoes in the ratio 1:2:3, we first need to find the total parts in the ratio.

The sum of the parts of the ratio is:
1 + 2 + 3 = 6 parts.

Next, we can determine the value of each part by dividing the total number of mangoes by the total parts:
\[
\text{Value of each part} = \frac{120}{6} = 20 \text{ mangoes per part}.
\]

Now, we can find how many mangoes each person will receive:
- Olu: \(1 \times 20 = 20\) mangoes
- Ojo: \(2 \times 20 = 40\) mangoes
- Oye: \(3 \times 20 = 60\) mangoes

Now, to find how many mangoes Ojo and Oye both have together:
\[
\text{Ojo's mangoes} + \text{Oye's mangoes} = 40 + 60 = 100 \text{ mangoes}.
\]

Thus, Ojo and Oye together will have **100 mangoes**.
