Question

divide 36 into two numbers such that 2/3 of one of the number is equal to 6/5 of the other number
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing 36 into two parts in such a way that 1/5 of one part is equal to 1/7of the other.

36-x 7

7x = 5(36 - x)

7x 5 x 36 - 5x

=

7x + 5x = 5 × 36

12x

=

5 x 36

x = 5×36 12

x = 5 x 3 ⇒x=15

Therefore,

Required two parts:

text One part = = x= 15 </p><p> Other part = 36 15 = 36

= 21
