Question

divide 40 into two parts such that 1/4th of one part is 3/8th of the other

Answer 1

Hello! dear,

Your answer goes like this ...

Let the first part given be X

And the second part be concluded as 40-X

[1/4]x=[3/8]*[40-x]
⇒[1/4]x=[120-3x]/8
⇒8x=480-12x
⇒8x+12x=480
⇒20x=480
⇒x=480/20
⇒x=24.

Now,We got the first part,i.e 24

And the second part⇒40-24=16.

Thank you dear,

Hope It helps.
