Given:

Number given = 42

Ratio = 3:5:6

Find:

The division of 42 in the ratio 3:5:6

Answer:

We get 9, 15 and 18 as the three parts on dividing 42 in the ratio 3:5:6.

Solution:

Let 3:5:6 = r

∴ First part = 3r

Second part = 5r

Third part = 6r

According to the question,

Sum of all parts = 42

First part + Second part + Third part = 42

3r + 5r + 6r = 42

14r = 42

r = 42/14

r = 3

First part = 3r = 3(3) = 9

Second part = 5r = 5(3) = 15

Third part = 6r = 6(3) = 18

Hence, 42 is divided in the ratio 3:5:6 as 9, 15, and 18.
