Divide 125 into the ratio of 3:2
Answers
Answer:
total be = 125
let A:B = 3:2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost be 3x and 2x respectively.
so, 3x+2x = 125
5x = 125
x = 125/5
x = 25
then, putting value of x in costs = A= 3x
A= 3 x 25
A = 75
B = 2x
B = 2 x 25
B = 50.
The divisions are, 75 and 50
Given : The main number is 125
To find : Dividing the main number in the ratio of 3:2
Solution :
We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to divide the given number in the said ratio)
Let,
The divisions = 3x and 2x
(Obtained from the ratio 3:2)
So, according to the data mentioned in the question,
3x+2x = 125
5x = 125
x = 125/5
x = 25
So, first division = 3x = 3 × 25 = 75
Second division = 2x = 2 × 25 = 50
(These will be considered as the final results.)
Hence, the divisions are 75 and 50
