Question

Divide 72 between A, B, and C in the ratio 5:6:7​

Answer 1

A:B:C::5:6:7.(given)

Let A get 5x, B get 6x, C get 7x.

BTP, 5x+6x+7x=72

⇒18x=72

⇒x=72/18

⇒x=4.

∴ A gets 5x=5(4)=20.

∴ B gets 6x=6(4)=24

∴ C gets 7x=7(4)=28

Answer 2

Let A, B, C be 5x, 6x and 7x
So, 5x + 6x + 7x= 72
18x = 72
X= 72/18
X= 4.
Now, we’ll substitute the value in A, B and C.
A= 5 (4) = 20
B= 6 (4) = 24
C= 7 (4)= 32
