Question

11. A number is divided into two parts such
that one part is 12 more than the other. If
the two parts are in the ratio 1:2. Find the
numbers?.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 24

Explanation:

Given,

A number divided in the ratio of 1 : 2 such that one part is 12 more than another.

Find the numbers.

Let's say one number is x

Another number would be (x + 12)

According to the question,

→ x : (x + 12) = 1 : 2

→ x/(x + 12) = 1/2

By cross multiplication,

→ 2*x = 1*(x + 12)

→ 2x = x + 12

→ 2x - x = 12

→ x = 12

∴ One part is 12

Hence, another number would be:

• x + 12 = 24.

∴ Required answer: 12 & 24

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 24

Explanation:

Given,

A number divided in the ratio of 1 : 2 such that one part is 12 more than another.

Find the numbers.

Let's say one number is x

Another number would be (x + 12)

According to the question,

→ x : (x + 12) = 1 : 2

→ x/(x + 12) = 1/2

By cross multiplication,

→ 2*x = 1*(x + 12)

→ 2x = x + 12

→ 2x - x = 12

→ x = 12

∴ One part is 12

Hence, another number would be:

x + 12 = 24.

∴ Required answer: 12 & 24
