decrease 355 in the ratio 5:2​

Answer 1

Hi, I don't know if my answer is correct, but I do hope it helps :)

Q. Decrease 355 in the ratio 5:2

A. The ratio given is 5:2.

Therefore, we are supposed to divide the given number in 5 parts and 2 parts from a whole, ie, 5 + 2 = 7.

CASE 1

5/7 * 355 gives us approximately 253.57 on calculation.

CASE 2

2/7 * 355 gives us approximately 101.43 on calculation.

So from CASE 1 and CASE 2, we can get our ratio.

ie, 253.57 : 101.43.

Therefore, the required ratio is 253.57 : 101.43.
