Question

A number is divided into two parts such as that one part is 12 more than the other.If the two parts are in the ratio 1:2.Find the number?​

Answer 1

36 is the number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first part be X then other part would be X+12

given ratio of their parts are 1:2 or 1/2

therefore X/X+12 = 1/2

thus, X = 12

so, X+12 = 24

Hence, the number is 12+24 = 36
