Question

5. Separate 56 into two parts such that one is 6 times the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two parts 56 can be split into are 48 and 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let us take the smaller number to be x.

• So, the number six times of x will be (6 * x) = 6x.

So, the following equation forms:

6x + x = 56

⇒ 7x = 56

⇒ x = 56/7

⇒ x = 8

⇒ 6x = 6 * 8

⇒ 6x = 48

Verifying our answer:

48 + 8 = 56

56 = 56

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, the answer derived is correct.

Hope it helps!
