Question

Divide 63 into 2 parts such that one part is 2/7 of the other

Answer 1

Answer:

14 and 49

Explanation:

Let the first part be x.

Second part = 63-x

According to Question,

x = 2/7 (63-x)

=> 7x = 126-2x

=> 7x+2x = 126

=> 9x = 126

=> x = 126/9

=> x = 14

Hence, first part = 14

Second part = 63-14 = 49

Answer 2

The given question is 63 was divided into 2 parts.

The one part is 2/7 times the other.

The solution will be

let one part be x , then the other part will be 63-x.

According to the question one part is 2/7 times of the other, then

$x = \frac{2}{7} (63 - x) \\ 7x = 126 - 2x \\ 7x + 2x = 126 \\ 9 x = 126 \\ \\ x = \frac{126}{9} = 14 \\ x = 14$

x=14.Then the other number is 63-x

63-14=49.

Therefore, the two parts of the number 63 is 14 and 49
