To Find:
The numbers when the number 60 is divided by the ratio of 2:3.
Solution:
There is a formula to divide the given number by the given ratios. The formula is,
a:b = a × M and b × M
Here 'a' = 2, 'b' = 3, and 'M' = 60
∴ 2:3 = × 60 and × 60
On adding the denominators of the above equation we get,
