Question

Divide 105kg in the ratio 8:7

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

105x(8/15) and 105x(7/15)

So the answer is 56kg and 49kg

Answer 2

let x be the common factor

therefore

8x + 7x = 105

15x = 105

x = 105/15

x = 7

hence,

first part = 8*7 = 56

second part = 7*7 = 49

therefore,

56:49::8:7
