Answer 2

Correct question is "Divide the number 320 in the ratio 5:3"

Answer:

Required two parts after division are 200 and 120.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number is 320.

We want to divide the number in the ratio 5:3.

Now question is what is ratio ?

Ratio is a form of fraction.By ratio,we can compare two identities.

If a and b be two numbers then ratio of a and b will be a:b.

For example, ratio of 25 and 50

$= 25 \ratio50 \\ = \frac{25}{50} \\ = \frac{1}{2} \\ = 1 \ratio 2$

Let two parts of 320 be 5x and 3x

According to question,

$5x + 3x = 320 \\ 8x = 320 \\ x = \frac{320}{8} \\ x = 40$

So,if we divide 320 in the ratio 5:3 then first part is (5×40) = 200 and second part is (3×40) = 120
