Question

a plot of land,600 sq.m in area ,is divided between two persons such that the first person gets three-fifths of what the second gets.find the share of each

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the second person get x

so the first person get 3/5x

land=600

3/5x + x=600

3x + 5x / 5=600

8x/5=600

x=600×5/8

x=375 (second person)

3/5x=225 (first person)
