Some oranges were shared between two children in ratio three to five respectively. If the first child’s share was 120, how many oranges were shared between them?
A. three hundred and twenty B. two hundred C. four hundred and twenty D. two hundred and twenty
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Since the ratio of the oranges shared between the children is \(3:5\), the total number of parts is \(3+5 = 8\). If the first child received \(3\) parts and has \(120\) oranges, then each part represents \(120 \div 3 = 40\) oranges. Thus, the total number of oranges shared between them is \(40 \times 8 = 320\).
