Question

Divide 36 into two parts such that 1
4
of one part is equal to 1
5
of the other part.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let one part be x

so, other is (36-x)

a/q,

1/4 of x = 1/5 of (36-x)

x/4. = 36/5 - x/5

now do transposition,

x/4+x/5 = 36/5

9x/20. = 36/5

x. = 16

so one part = 16

other part = 20
