Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Let the parts be 5x and 3x.

Difference between them=10

Given,5x-3x=10

or,2x=10

or,x=10/2=5

The parts are 5*5=25 and 3*5=15

The number=25+15=40

Ans:The parts are 25 and 15 and the number is 40.
