Question

divide 56 IN THE RATIO 3;5

Answer 1

Hey there! Here's the solution :-




First add 3 and 5
3+5 = 8



Now, 56 into 3/8 = 3/8 * 56 = 21



And, 56 into 5/8 = 5/8*56 = 35




Therefore, 56 in ratio 3:5 = 21 and 35

Answer 2

To Find:

divide 56 in the ratio 3:5.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

Now,

      ⇒ 3x + 5x = 56

      ⇒ 8x = 56

      ⇒ x = 56/8

      ⇒ x = 7

3x = 3 × 7

    = 21

5x = 5 × 7

    = 35

Now, when we divide 21//35 it is reduced to 3/5 which is equal to 3:5.

Therefore, 56 is divided into the ratio of 3:5.
