Question

3000 acres of land is to be partitioned in the ratio 3: 4: 5. What is the size of the greatest part?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1250 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratios be in the form of 3x, 4x and 5x.

A.T.Q.

3x + 4x + 5x = 3000

12x = 3000

x = 3000/12

x = 250

Greatest size = 250 × 5

=1250 acres

Answer 2

Answer:

1250 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ratio be

3x, 4x, 5x

as per question

3x+4x+5x=3000

12x=3000

x=3000/12

x=250

biggest share goes to with the ratio of 5

so, 5x=5×250=1250

so the biggest share is 1250 acres.
