Question

diide 64 nto twoparts such that one part is 3times the other

Answer 1

let the two parts be x and y

so x+y =64 .....(i)

let x=3y ,put the value in (i)

3y+y=64

4y=64

y=16

x=3y=3×16=48

So ur ans is 16 and 48

Answer 2

suppose one part is x

then the other part will be 3x

now,

3x+x=64

or, x=16

now your one part is 16 and other is 16 × 3 = 48
