Question

Divide 400 into four parts, such that the second part is 5 upon 6 of the first part, the third part is 3 upon 6 of the first part and the fourth part is 1 upon 3 of the first part. Find all the four parts​

Answer 1

Answer:

150, 125, 75, 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first part be x.

2nd part = 5x/6.

3rd part = 3x/6.

4th part = x/3

x + 5x/6 + 3x/6 + x/3 = 400

=>6x/6 + 5x/6 + 3x/6 + 2x/6 = 400

=>16x/6 = 400

=> x = 400 * 6/16 = `150.

First part = 150.

2nd part = 5/6 * 150 = 125.

3rd part = 3/6 * 150 = 75.

4th part = 1/3 * 150 = 50
