Three school children share some   oranges as follows: Akwasi gets (1/3) of  the total and the remainder is shared  between Abena and Juana in the ratio  2: 3 . If Abena gets 24 oranges , how  many does Akwasi get.

$$\mathrm{Three}\:\mathrm{school}\:\mathrm{children}\:\mathrm{share}\:\mathrm{some}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{oranges}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{follows}:\:\mathrm{Akwasi}\:\mathrm{gets}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\:\mathrm{of} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{total}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{remainder}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{shared} \\ $$$$\mathrm{between}\:\mathrm{Abena}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{Juana}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{ratio} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}:\:\mathrm{3}\:.\:\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{Abena}\:\mathrm{gets}\:\mathrm{24}\:\mathrm{oranges}\:,\:\mathrm{how} \\ $$$$\mathrm{many}\:\mathrm{does}\:\mathrm{Akwasi}\:\mathrm{get}. \\ $$

Akwasi gets =( 24×(5/2))×(1/2)  = 30

$$\mathrm{Akwasi}\:\mathrm{gets}\:=\left(\:\mathrm{24}×\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\:=\:\mathrm{30}\: \\ $$

Number of oranges: n  Akwssi gets (n/3)  Remaining:n− (n/3)=((2n)/3)  Abena gets (((2n)/3)/5)×2,which is equal to 24         (((2n)/3)/5)×2=24      ((2n)/3)=24×(5/2)=60       (n/3)=((60)/2)=30  Akwasi gets 30 oranges.

$${Number}\:{of}\:{oranges}:\:{n} \\ $$$${Akwssi}\:{gets}\:\frac{{n}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${Remaining}:{n}−\:\frac{{n}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{n}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${Abena}\:{gets}\:\frac{\frac{\mathrm{2}{n}}{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{5}}×\mathrm{2},{which}\:{is}\:{equal}\:{to}\:\mathrm{24} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\frac{\frac{\mathrm{2}{n}}{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{5}}×\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{24} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\frac{\mathrm{2}{n}}{\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{24}×\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{60} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\frac{{n}}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{\mathrm{60}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{30} \\ $$$${Akwasi}\:{gets}\:\mathrm{30}\:{oranges}. \\ $$
