please answer this question..​

Answer 1

Answer:

60,50,40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first part be x.

2nd part=5/6 of x=5/6x

3rd part=4/5 of 2nd part=4/5*5/6x=2/3x

sum of total parts=150

x+5/6x+2/3x=150

6x+5x+4x/6=150

15x/6=150

15x=900

x=60

1st part=60

2nd part=5/6*60=50

3rd part=2/3*60=40
