The ratio of the marks obtained by Sangita in English and Nepali is 6: 7. If she
got 72 in English, then how much marks did she get in Nepali?



Answer :

Answer:

84 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios represent proportions of different quantities. For example the ratio of fingers on a hand is 1:5. This means that if we have 2 hands, there will be 10 fingers. Using this, given the amount of English marks, we can set up a proportionality statement to get the Nepali marks.

Solving:

[tex]\section*{}\text{m represents marks in Nepali}\\\[\frac{72}{m} = \frac{6}{7}\]\[72 \times 7 = 6 \times m\]\[504 = 6m\]\[m = \frac{504}{6}\]\[\boxed{m = 84}\][/tex]

Therefore, Sangita got 84 marks in Nepali.
