Answer 1

Answer:

20 ,  50

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 70 into the ratio of 2:5​

2 + 5 = 7

First part = (70 × ²/₇) = 20

Second part = (70 × ⁵/₇) = 50

Answer 2

Given - Ratio = 2:5

Total = 70

Find - The numbers that sum up to 70

Solution - Let the numbers be 2x and 5x. Now, expressing it in mathematical form -

2x + 5x = 70

Performing addition -

7x = 70

Performing divison -

x = 10

So, now calculating the numbers -

First number = 2x

Keeping the value of x -

First number = 2*10

Performing multiplication -

First number = 20

Second number = 5x

Keeping the value of x -

Second number = 5*10

Performing multiplication -

Second number = 50

Therefore, 70 can be divided into 20 and 50.
