Answer 2

Answer:

Number is 60, Larger part is 300

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

• Ratio of 2 parts = 5 : 3
• Smaller part = 180
• Therefore, we need number and the larger part:

Divide 180 with 3 = 180 / 3 = 60

Using the number 60, find the other number. How?

1st part = 60 x 5 = 300

300 is your larger part and 60 is the number

There you go!
