Renuka got $$1\frac{1}{2}$$ times as many marks in mathematics as in English. Her total marks in mathematics, English and science are 190. If the ratio of the marks in mathematics and science is 2:3, find her science marks.
Renuka got $$1\frac{1}{2}$$ times as many marks in mathematics as in English.
Let's assume the marks got byĀ Renuka inĀ English is 2y.
marks got by Renuka inĀ mathematics =Ā $$1\frac{1}{2}\times 2y$$
=Ā $$\frac{3}{2}\times 2y$$
= 3y
If the ratio of the marks in mathematics and science is 2:3.
marks got by Renuka inĀ science =Ā $$\frac{3y}{2}\times\ 3$$
=Ā $$\frac{9y}{2}$$
= 4.5y
Her total marks in mathematics, English and science are 190.
3y+2y+4.5y =Ā 190
9.5y = 190
y = 20
Her marks inĀ science =Ā 4.5y
=Ā $$4.5\times20$$
= 90
