Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

24 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. = x

the other no. = 40 - x

A.T.Q.

1/4x = 3/8(40 - x)

1/4x = 15 - 3/8x

1/4x + 3/8x = 15

5/8x = 15

x = 15 ÷ 5/8

x = 15 * 8/5

x = 24

Numbers are 24 and 16.
