Let one of the parts be x and the other part is x+10
Their ratio = 5 : 3
x+10 : x = 5 : 3
5x = 3(x + 10)
5x = 3x + 30
2x = 10
x = 5
Two parts are 5 and 15
The number is 5 + 15 = 20
Their ratio = 5 : 3
x+10 : x = 5 : 3
5x = 3(x + 10)
5x = 3x + 30
2x = 10
x = 5
Two parts are 5 and 15
The number is 5 + 15 = 20
