Jane and Peter shared an article in a ratio 5:3 respectively. If Jane got 4 articles more than peter, how many did Peter get?

Let's denote the number of articles Jane got as 5x and the number of articles Peter got as 3x.

According to the given information, Jane got 4 more articles than Peter:
5x = 3x + 4
Subtracting 3x from both sides:
2x = 4
Dividing by 2:
x = 2

Therefore, Peter got 3x = 3(2) = 6 articles.

Let's say Peter got x articles.
Then Jane got 5x/3 articles.
According to the question, 5x/3 - x = 4
=> 5x - 3x = 12
=> 2x = 12
=> x = 6

So, Peter got 6 articles.
