Question

A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 20 more than the other. If two parts are in the ratio 5:3, fid the number and two parts.​

Answer 1

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

Let the ratio constants be x

then,

no. 1= 5x

no. 2= 3x

by question,

5x-3x= 20

2x= 20

x= 10

two parts:

5*10=50

3*10= 30

hope it help
