Question

A number is divided into three parts in the ratio 1:2:3.If the third part is 39,what are the others? Find the number also.

Answer 1

let 1:2:3 be 1x 2x and 3x
so 3x = 39
then x = 39÷3
= 13

1x=13
2x=2×13 = 26

Answer 2

Ratio=1:2:3
LET Ratio=x:2x:3x
Third part= 39
Means 3x=39
x=39/3
x=13

X=13
2x=13×2=26
3x=39
Numbers are 13,26,39
13:26:39
