3 girls share a number of apples in the ratio 5:3:25 : 3 : 2. If the highest share is 40 apples, find the smallest share.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The highest share is 5 parts, so 5 parts are 40 apples and 1 part is 40÷5=840 \div 5 = 8 apples.
  2. The smallest share is 2 parts: 2×8=162 \times 8 = 16 apples, option A.
