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 of 5 is to 3 find the number of and that two parts

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of both the numbers = 5:3

let the common ratio be x

5x-3x=10 ( difference between both the parts)

2x=10

x=10/2

x=5

part 1 = 5x = 5 * 5 = 25

part 2 = 3x = 5*3 = 15

number = 25+15

number = 40
