The correct Answer is:
To divide 14 toffees between Ankita and Anshul in the ratio of 5:2, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio The ratio 5:2 means that for every 5 parts Ankita receives, Anshul receives 2 parts. ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Parts Add the parts of the ratio together: \[ 5 + 2 = 7 \text{ parts} \] ### Step 3: Determine the Value of Each Part To find the value of one part, divide the total number of toffees by the total number of parts: \[ \text{Value of one part} = \frac{14 \text{ toffees}}{7 \text{ parts}} = 2 \text{ toffees per part} \] ### Step 4: Calculate Ankita's Share Now, multiply the number of parts Ankita receives (5) by the value of one part: \[ \text{Ankita's share} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ toffees} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Anshul's Share Similarly, multiply the number of parts Anshul receives (2) by the value of one part: \[ \text{Anshul's share} = 2 \times 2 = 4 \text{ toffees} \] ### Step 6: Final Shares Thus, Ankita receives 10 toffees and Anshul receives 4 toffees. ### Summary - Ankita: 10 toffees - Anshul: 4 toffees ---
