chinwe,sadiat and sade shared 150 mangoes in the ratio 1:2:3 respectively . how many mangoes did sade have?
To find out how many mangoes Sade had, we can use the given ratio of 1:2:3.
First, we need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio. The ratio 1:2:3 has a total of 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 parts.
Next, we divide the total number of mangoes (150) by the total number of parts (6) to find the value of one part.
150 mangoes ÷ 6 parts = 25 mangoes
Since Sade's share is represented by 3 parts, we multiply the value of one part (25 mangoes) by 3 to find out how many mangoes Sade had.
25 mangoes per part × 3 parts = 75 mangoes
Therefore, Sade had 75 mangoes.
