Question

Divide 150 into two parts so that one fourth of one is equal to one third of the other?

Answer 1

Answer:

let x is be one part and y be the other part.

one-fourth of one is equal to one-third of other....

(1/4)*x = (1/3)*y

x = (4/3)*y -------(1)

sum of two parts is 150...

x + y = 150 --------(2)

substitute (1) in (2) ;

(4/3)*y + y = 150

(7/3)y = 150

y = 150*3/7 = 450/7

put y = 450/7 in (2) ;

x + (450/7) = 150

x = 150 - (450/7) = (1050 - 450)/7 = 600/7

x = 600/7 ; y = 450/7 ;

Hope this helps you....
