Question

Divide 36° into two parts in such a way that 1th/5
of one part is equal to
1th/7
of the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

21* and 15*

Step-by-step explanation:

If one-fifth of a part is equal to one-seventh of the other,

Then 36/x/5 = 36/y/7 => 36(5) / x = 36(7) / y

5/x = 7/y. Then 1/5 : 1/7.

So one should be divided into 5 parts and the other into 7 parts.

So, make the fractions like, we have 7/35 : 5/35 which is 7 : 5.

Now 12x (sum of ratios) = 36, and so x = 3.

So one part is equal to 21*.

And the other into 15*.
