Let the smaller part of the number be x
Then the larger part is x+10
Given, (x+10):x = 5:3
3 × (x+10) = 5x
2x = 30
x = 15
Therefore, the parts are 15 and 25
And the number is 15+25 = 40
Then the larger part is x+10
Given, (x+10):x = 5:3
3 × (x+10) = 5x
2x = 30
x = 15
Therefore, the parts are 15 and 25
And the number is 15+25 = 40
