Question

A number is divided into two parts such that one parts is 10 more than the other if the two parts are in the ratio of 5.3 find the number and the two parts

Answer 1

given

a no. is divided such that one of its parts is divided is 10 more than the other

the ratio of that no. is 5:3

let x be required number

so,5x:3x

5x=3x+10

5x -3x =10

2x =10

x=10/2

x=5

5x=5 X 5 =25

3x = 3 X 5 =15

5x+3x=25+15

=40
