Question

A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other If the two parts are in ratio 5:3 find the number and two parts

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two parts =5x and 3x

Other part =3x+10

5x=3x+10

5x-3x=10

2x=10

x=10/2

x=5

First part = 3x

=3*5

15

Second part =5x

5*5=25

The number = 5x + 3x=8x

=8*5=40
