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 by Renuka in English is 2y.
marks got by Renuka in mathematics = $$1\frac{1}{2}\times 2y$$
= $$\frac{3}{2}\times 2y$$
= 3y
If the ratio of the marks in mathematics and science is 2:3.
marks got by Renuka in science = $$\frac{3y}{2}\times\ 3$$
= $$\frac{9y}{2}$$
= 4.5y
Her total marks in mathematics, English and science are 190.
3y+2y+4.5y = 190
9.5y = 190
y = 20
Her marks in science = 4.5y
= $$4.5\times20$$
= 90
