Answer 2

Your question needs a correction : -

Correct Question : - distribute 65 into two parts such that the ratio of the parts be 8 : 5.

Let the larger part ( 8 ) be 8x and the smaller part ( 5 ) be 5x.

Now parts are 8x and 5x

From the question, sum of both the parts = 65

8x + 5x = 65

13 x = 65

$\dfrac{13x}{13}=\dfrac{65}{13}$

x = 5

∴ Larger part = 8x

                      = 8( 5 )

                      = 40

∴  Smaller part = 5x

                         = 5( 5 )

                         = 25
