Question

A natural number has been divided into two parts in the ratio 9:13.If the second part is $260,find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

180.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the first part be 9x and second part be 13 x .

A/q , 13 x = 260

x = 20 .

So   1st = 9 x 20 = 180.

Answer 2

Ratio of numbers=9:13
Let Ratio be=9x and 13x
But second part 13x=$260
a/q

9x+13x=260+9x( as Total will be when Both numbers are added)

so,
9x+13x=260+9x
22x=260+9x
22x-9x=260
13x=260
x=260/13
x=20

First Number=9x
=9×20=180

1st Number=$180
2nd Number=$260
