Question

A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other if the two parts are in the ratio 5:3 Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common factor be x

first part = 5x and second part = 3x

According to the question,

5x = 10+3x

5x-3x = 10

2x = 10

x = 5

Number = 5×5 - 3×5 = 25-15 = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

15,25

Step-by-step explanation:

let one number be x

and the other be x+10

(x+10)/x = 5/3

5x = 3x + 30

x = 15

x +10 =25
