Three traders share some bags of beans in the ratio 4:3 12. If the smallest share is 24 bags, find the other share.

1 answer

Let the shares be represented by 4x, 3x, and 12x.

According to the given ratio, we have:
4x = 24
x = 24 / 4
x = 6

Therefore, the other shares are:
3x = 3 * 6 = 18 bags
12x = 12 * 6 = 72 bags

So the other shares are 18 bags and 72 bags.
