Question

A plot of land of 600 sq. m in area is divided between two people such that the first person gets three fifths of what the second gets. Find the share of each

Answer 1

let the part of the second person be x
so the part of the first member would be 3/5x

totql area of land = land of the first person +land of the second person
600 sq.m=x+3/5x

5x+3/x =600
5x+3=600x
3=595x
3-595x=0
-595x=-3
x=198.34
