Question

Divide 42 in a ratio of 1:2:3

Answer 1

Let 1:2:3 be 1x,2x,3x
So, 42 = 1x+2x+3x
42= 6x
42 ÷6 = x
7 = x
1x = 1×7= 7
2x = 2×7=14
3x =3×7=21

Answer 2

Answer:

$first \:share =7$

$second \:share = 14$

$Third \:share = 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given \: 42\: Divided\: in\: a\: ratio \:of \:1:2:3$

$Sum \: of \: the \: ratio \\=1+2+3=6$

$6\: parts = 42$

$\implies 1 \: part = \frac{42}{6}=7$

$Now,\\first \:share = 1\:part\\=7$

$second \:share = 2\:parts\\=2\times 7\\= 14$

$Third \:share = 3\:parts\\=3\times 7\\= 21$
