Question

Divide 24 into two parts in the ratio of 3:5.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

total =24

let it part =3x

let second part =5x

ist part+second part=24

3x+5x=24

8x=24

x=3

ist part=3x = 3×3=9

second part =5x =5×3 =15

Answer 2

The two divisions are 9 and 15

Given : The main number is 24

To find : Dividing the main number in the ratio of 3:5

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the two divisions according to the given ratio)

Let, the two divisions = 3x and 5x

(obtained from the ratio 3:5)

According to the data mentioned in the question,

3x+5x = 24

8x = 24

x = 24/8

x = 3

First division = 3x = (3×3) = 9

Second division = 5x = (5×3) = 15

(These will be considered as the final results.)

Hence, the two divisions are 9 and 15
