Question

Divide 150 into 3 parts such that 2nd part is 5/6of 1st and 3rd part is 4/5of 2nd

Answer 1

Let us divide 150 into three parts:-

x, y and (150-x-y)

y = 5/6 of x

6y = 5x

150-x-y = 4/5 of y

750-5x-5y = 4y

750-6y-5y = 4y

750 = 15y

y = 50

Hence 1st part is 60

2nd part is 50

3rd part is 40

HOPE IT HELPS!!

Answer 2

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

1st part =x

2nd part= x×5/6=5x/6

3rd part= 5x/6×4/5=20x/30

a/q

• x+5x/6+20x/30=150
• 30x/30+25x/30+20x/30=150
• 75x/30=150
• 75x=150×30
• x=45×100/75
• x=45×4/3
• x=180/3
• x=60
