Question

divide 40 m in the ratio 5:3,if 1st part is 25 find 2nd part​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the two parts are in the ratio 5:3, then let the first number be 5x and second number be 3x. As second number is 10 more than the other, so it will be 3x+10.

5x=3x+10

2x=10

x=5

The first number becomes 5(5)=25 and second number becomes 3(5)=15.

The new number will be 25+15=40.

Answer 2

let the second part be x

25 + x = 40

x = 40 - 25

x = 15

hope it's clear to you..
