Question

Divide 22 into two parts in such a way that 2/3 of one part is equal to 1/4 of the other

Answer 1

Let one part be x

Then the other part be (22-x)

⅔ of one part = ¼ of other part

(⅔)x = (¼)(22-x)

2x/3 = (22-x)/4

4(2x) = 3(22-x)

8x = 66-3x

8x+3x = 66

11x = 66

x = 66/11

x = 6

One part = 6

Then the other part = 22-6 = 16

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

let one part be x
so other part =22-x
according to the question;
2/3 of x=1/4 of (22-x)
2x/3=22-x/4
8x=66-3x
8x+3x=66
11x=66
x=6
22-x=22-6=16
hope it helps u;
