Question

Divide 64 into two parts .such that one part is 3 times to other

Answer 1

let x be the first part

then second part = 3x

now 3x+x = 64

x = 64/4

x = now the no. is 16 and 48

Answer 2

let 1st other part be x
first part 1÷3x
1÷3x + x = 64
4÷3x = 64
x = 64×3÷4
x = 48
So, first part =48
2nd part = 1÷3x = 1÷3×48 = 16
