Question

DIVIDE 64 INTO TWO PARTS SUCH THAT THREE TIMES THE GREATER PART IS EQUAL TO FIVE TIMES THE SMALLER ONE

Answer 1

Answer:

40 & 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the greater part is x and smaller part is y

Then, 3x = 5y

=> y = 3x/5

x + y = 64

=> x + 3x/5 = 64

=> 8x/5 = 64

=> x = 64 x 5 /8 = 40

=> y = 64-40 = 24
