Question

a number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other. the two parts are in the ratio 5:3. the number is _ and the two parts are _ and _​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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 3x+10.

5x=3x+10

2x=10

x=5

The first number becomes 5(5)=25 and second number becomes 3(5)=15.

The new number will be 25+15=40.

Answer 2

Answer:

THE TWO NO. ARE 15 AND 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the two no. = 5:3

Let, x be the any positive no.

such that 5x + 3x = (sum of the no.)

=) 3x + 10 = 5x

=) 5x - 3x = 10

=) 2x = 10

=) x. =

$\frac{10}{2}$

=) 5

3x = 3 × 5 = 15

5x = 5 × 5 = 25
