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

Correct answer is C
The sum, S of ratio is S = 5 + 3 + 2 = 10.
But highest share = \(\frac{5}{10} \times T\), where T is the total number of apples.
Thus, \(40 = \frac{5}{10} \times T\),
given 40 x 10 = 5T,
\(T = \frac{40 \times 10}{5} = 80\)
Hence the smallest share = \(\frac{2}{10} \times 80\)
= 16 apples
