Question

Divide 34 into two parts in that 4/7 of one part is equal to 2/5of the other

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one part be x and the other be 34-x.

according to the question,

4x/7=2/5(34-x)

4x/7 * 35=2/5*35(34-x)

20x=14(34-x)

20x=476-14x

20x+14x=476

34x=476

x=476/34

x=14

therefore,

first part=14

second part=34-14=20
