Question

A plot of land 630sq m in area ,is divided between two persons such that the first person gets four-fifth of what the second gets.find the share of each

Answer 1

let second person get be rs x
1st person get = 4x/5
4x/5+x = 630
4x+5x/5 = 630
9x/5 = 630
x = 630×5/9
x = 350
second get = 350 sqm^2
1st get = 4/5×350 =280 sqm^2

Answer 2

Answer:

Share of each person is 280:350

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: For solving problems related to fractions we can take 1 as a whole

One share = 4/5

Second share = (1 - 4/5) = 1/5

Ratio = 4/5 : 1/5

A person gets four-fifths = 4/5 = 4:5

4 + 5 = 9

A plot of land 630 sq m in area is divided into two persons

Ratio of first person = 4/9 × 630 = 280

Ratio of second persons = 5/9 × 630 = 350

Hence, share of each person is 280:350
