Answer:

The number of pens if we divide 60 pens in the ratio 5:7 is 25 and 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required to divide 60 pens in the ratio 5:7

Solution:

If we divide the pens in the ratio 5:7, the number of pens each person is getting are 5x and 7x

Since there are 60 pens we have,

5x+7x = 60

12x = 60

x = \frac{60}{12}  = 5

Then we have,

5x = 5×5 = 25

7x = 7×5 = 35

Hence, the number of pens if we divide 60 pens in the ratio 5:7 is 25 and 35
