a number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more then the other.if two parts are in the ratio 5;3,find the number and the two parts
Answers
Assume one part of number = p
Other part of number = p + 10
★Situation :-
3(p + 10) = 5p
3p + 30 = 5p
30 = 5p - 3p
30 = 2p
p = 15
★One part of number = 15
★Other part is :-
= 15 + 10
=25
★Therefore number :-
= 15 + 25
= 40
Answer:
The number is 40 .
Explanation :-
Let, one part of number = x
therefore, other part of number = x + 10

To find :-
The number

According to the question,
The two parts are in the ratio of 5 : 3.
∴ (x + 10)/x = 5/3
=> 3(x + 10) = 5x
=> 3x + 30 = 5x
=> 2x = 30
=> x = 15
∴ One part of number = x = 15
& other part = x + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25
Hence,
the number = 15 + 25 = 40

∴ The number is 40 .
