If 3 boys shared x oranges among themselves in the ratio of 3: 5: 8 and the smallest share was 45 oranges. Find the value of x?
Jhay Christian
The smallest share was 45 Oranges, so somebody else got 5 for every 3 of those, and another got 8 for every 3 of those.
45 / 3 = 15
15 * 5 = 75 is how many the second boy got.
15 * 8 = 120 is how many the third one got.
45 + 75 + 120 = 240 total oranges.
