Question
Ramu wanted to give these vegetables to his friends. He gave Aboobacker one-fifth of these tomatoes and `1/3` of the potatoes. Srija got `2/5` of the tomatoes and `3/6` of the potatoes. Nancy got the rest of these vegetables. Circle Aboobacker’s share in blue. Circle Srija’s share in yellow.
Solution
Total number of tomatoes = 20
Total number of potatoes = 18
Aboobacker got one-fifth of the tomatoes and one-third of the potatoes.
Number of tomatoes with Aboobacker = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Number of potatoes with Aboobacker = 18 ÷ 3 = 6
So, we will circle 4 tomatoes and 6 potatoes in blue to show Aboobacker’s share. Srija got two-fifth of the tomatoes and three-sixth of the potatoes.
Number of tomatoes with Srija = 2 × 4 = 8 One-sixth of 18 = 3
Number of potatoes with Srija = 3 × 3 = 9
Thus, Ramu gave 4 tomatoes to Aboobacker and 8 tomatoes to Srija. So, he gave a total of 12 tomatoes to Aboobacker and Srija.
Now, Ramu gave 6 potatoes to Aboobacker and 9 potatoes to Srija. So, he gave a total of 15 potatoes to Aboobacker and Srija.
Number of tomatoes left = 20 − 12 = 8
Number of potatoes left = 18 − 15 = 3
