Question

Divide 585 into two parts in ratios 2 : 7

Answer 1

We can write 2 : 7 as 2x : 7x.

2x + 7x = 285, since these two numbers (2x and 7x) divide the number.

9x = 285

x = 95/3

Therefore, the numbers are (2*95/3) and (7*95/3), which are 190/3 and 665/3 respectively.

You can verify this by adding the two together which equal 855/3 and upon division, we get 285.
