Question

Divide 160 into two parts such that the greater part is four times of the smaller part​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first step: if we divide 160 into two EQUAL parts we get 80

second step: in order to make one part GREATER than the other part we have to analyse how one part makes it four times greater

third step:  let the smaller part be x and the greater part become 4x

• x+4x=160

• 5x=160

• x=160/5

• smaller part (x)=32

• greater part = 4×32

• = 128
