Question

11. A number is divided in the ratio 16:8. If the second part is 56. find the number​

Answer 1

Let ratio = 16x : 8x
8x = 56 ( given )
x = 56/8 = 7

16 x = 112
8 x = 56

Number = sum ( 112 + 56 ) = 168

Answer 2

Solution:

Let the first part be = 16x

Let the second part be = 8x

Given:-

Second Part = 56

Then,

8x = 56

⟹ x = 56 / 8

⟹ x = 7

Value of x = 7

⟹First Part = 16 x = 16 × 7 = 112

Therefore,

Number = 112 + 56 = 168
