231. In a bag 60 candies, the ratio of chocolate candies to gummy candies is 3:2. How many gummy candies are there?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 24

Explanation Number of chocolate candies : Number of gummy candies = 3 : 2 We know that the total number of candies is 60, so we can set up the equation: 3x + 2x = 60 where x is a multiplier for both parts of the ratio. Combine like terms: 5x = 60 Divide by 5: x = 12 Now, multiply x by the ratio terms to find the number of gummy candies: Number of gummy candies = 2x = 2(12) = 24 So, there are 24 gummy candies!

232. A line segment's ratio is 4:6. How many parts are needed to divide it?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 10

Explanation The sum of the ratio parts is 4 + 6 = 10.

233. In a class of 60 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 3:2. How many girls are there in the class?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 24

Explanation Ratio of boys to girls = 3:2 Total students = 60 Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5 Number of girls = (2/5) × 60 = 24

234. If 2: 4 :: x: 40 then find the value of x?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 20

Explanation 2 : 4 :: x : 40 This is a proportion, which means: 2 / 4 = x / 40 Now solve: 2 × 40 = 4 × x 80 = 4x x = 80 / 4 = 20

237. If 12 men and 16 boys can do a piece of work in 5 days; 13 men and 24 boys can do it in 4 days, then the ratio of the daily work done by a man to that of a boy is:

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 2 : 1

Explanation We are given: 12 men + 16 boys complete the work in 5 days 13 men + 24 boys complete the work in 4 days We need to find the ratio of the daily work done by a man to that of a boy. Step 1: Let M be work done by 1 man in 1 day and B be work done by 1 boy in 1 day 5(12M+16B)=1 4(13M+24B)=1 Step 2: Convert to equations 12M+16B=⅕ 4(13M + 24B) = 1​ Step 3: Solve for M and B Multiply first equation by 4 : 48M+64B=⅘ Multiply second equation by 5 : 65M+120B=5/4 Convert fractions: 4/5=0.8,5/4=1.25 Solving simultaneously: Using elimination: Multiply (48M + 64B = 0.8) by 5 : 240M+320B=4240M + 320B = 4240M+320B=4 Multiply (65M + 120B = 1.25) by 4 : (260M+480B)- (240M + 320B) =5-4 20M + 160 b = 1 Dividing by 20 : M+8B=1/20M Substituting M = 2B from Question 69: 2B+8B=1/20 10B=20/1​ B=1/200B ​ M=2×1/200=2/200=1/100M Thus, ratio M:B = 2:1 .

238. If A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5, then find A:C?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 8:15

Explanation Make B common in both ratios: A:B = 2:3 → multiply by 4 → A:B = 8:12 B:C = 4:5 → multiply by 3 → B:C = 12:15 Now combine: A:B:C = 8:12:15 Last verified on 10-05-2026

239. If A : B = 2 : 3 and B : C = 4 : 5, then A : B : C =?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 8 : 12 : 15

Explanation A : B = 2 : 3 B : C = 4 : 5 Calculation : A : B = 2 : 3 ---- (1) × 4 B : C = 4 : 5 ---- (2) × 3 Multiply by 4 in equation (1) and multiply by 3 in equation (2) ∴ A : B : C = 8 : 12 : 15

240. In a bag, the ratio of red to blue marbles is 3:2. If there are 21 red marbles then blue marbles are?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 14

Explanation Red : Blue = 3 : 2 If 3 parts = 21 red marbles Then 1 part = 21 ÷ 3 = 7 So blue = 2 parts = 2 × 7 = 14 Last verified on 11-04-2026
