Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The 2 parts are 49 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

63 has to be divided into 2 parts.

Consider one parts as x

the other part will be 2/7 X x

x+ 2x/7 = 63

7x+2x = 63X7   (taking lcm and moving 7 to the other side)

9x      = 441

  x      =  441 /9

      x   =  49

One of the part x= 49

Other part           = x X 2/7

                           = 49 X 2/7

                           =  7X 2 (7 is a common factor)

                           =14
