Answer:
Here is the answer to your Question:
Let one part be x.
Then the other part will be 2/7 x.
According to the question
x + 2/7 *x = 54
7x + 2x/7 = 54
9x/7 = 54
9x = 378
x = 378/9
x = 42.
If one part is 42, then the other part will be 2/7 * x = 2/7 * 42 = 2 * 6 = 12.
Hence the two parts are 42 and 12.
