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 and the two parts.

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the two parts are in the ratio 5:3, then let the first number be 5x and second number be 3x. As second number is 10 more than the other, so it will be

$\sf3x+10$

$\sf5x=3x+10$

$\sf2x=10$

$\sf2x=10$

Answer 2

Answer:

there is difference of first number and second number is 10

as In ratio there is 5-3=2

as 2 is 10 then

5 is how much?

5×10÷2=25 is 5

then 5=25then

3=?

25×3÷5=15
