Question

divide 224 into 3 parts so that the second will be twice the first and third will be twice the second

Answer 1

Answer:

We can form an equation as follows-

224 = x + 2x + 4x

( the first part is x, second part is 2x and the third part is 2×2x=4x)

224 = 7x

x= 224/7 = 32

Therefore, first part = 32

second part =2×32 = 64

third part = 4×32=128
