Question

dived 800 in the ratio 3:5

Answer 1

Let the common multiple be x

So, let the 1st part be 3x and 2nd part be 5x

Their sum is 800


According to the given condition

3x + 5x = 800

Add the like terms

☛ 8x = 800

Divide both the sides by 8

☛ 8x/8 = 800/8

After dividing we get,

☛ x = 100


∴ 1st part ☛ 3x

☛ 3 × 100

☛ $\large{\boxed{\boxed{\rm{300}}}}$


∴ 2nd part ☛ 5x

☛ 5 × 100

☛ $\large{\boxed{\boxed{\rm{500}}}}$

Answer 2

$\sf\underline{Step-by-step \: explanation}$

Let the common number be x

So the numbers will be, 3x and 5x

$\tt{According \: to \: the \: question}$

● 3x + 5x = 800

● 8x = 800

● x = 800/8

● x = 100

》Hence the first part will be,

$\huge{\underline{\underline{300}}}$

[3x = 3 × 100 = 300]

》 Second part,

$\huge{\underline{\underline{500}}}$

[5x = 5 × 100 = 500]
