Question

A certain quantity of wheat is divide into 2 parts in the ratio 5isto8.if the second part is 112kg, find the first part aND total quantity of wheat​

Answer 1

Let the total amount of wheat be 13x. So first part is 5x and second part is 8x when divided in 5:8 ratio. We are given that second part is 112 kg.

So,

8x = 112

x = 14 kg.

So total amount of wheat, 13x = 182 kg.

First part, 5x = 70 kg

Answer 2

Wheat is divided into two parts in the ratio - 5:8

let the two parts be 5x and 8x

Then total quantity of wheat 5x+8x 13x

ATP 8x - 112 _ x _112/8 _ 14

the first part 5*14 70 kg

the total quantity of wheat 13*14 182kg
