Question

distrinute 65 in two parts such that the ratio of the parts be 8:5

Answer 1

Answer:

If we distribute 65 into two parts in the ratio 8:5, we get 40 and 25 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the number 65

We have to divide it into two parts in the ratio of 8:5

If 8x is one number, then 5x is the other number

So 8x + 5x = 65

13x = 65

x= 5

So the first part is 8x = 8*5 = 40

The second part is 5x = 5*5 = 25

So 65 can be divided in the ratio 8:5 as 40 and 25
