Question 8

The ratio of three numbers is 2 : 3 : 5. If the sum of the three numbers is 275, then what is the largest among the three numbers?

Solution

Let three numbers be $$2x,3x$$ and $$5x$$ respectively.

Sum = $$2x+3x+5x=275$$

=> $$x=\frac{275}{10}=27.5$$

$$\therefore$$ Largest number = $$5\times27.5=137.5$$
