Question

Divide 12 in the ratio of 2:3

Answer 1

Answer:

$one \: part = 2 \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{24}{5} \\ \\ other \: part = 3 \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{36}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: parts = 2x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 3x \\ then \: \: \: 2x + 3x = 12 \\ 5x = 12 \\ x = \frac{12}{5} \\ \\ one \: part = 2 \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{24}{5} \\ \\ other \: part = 3 \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{36}{5}$
