Question

Divide 75 in the ratio 2:3, find its smallest part​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be p. It is to be divided into three parts in the ratio a : b : c. Therefore, x = ak = apa+b+c, y = bk = bpa+b+c, z = ck = cpa+b+c.

Answer 2

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

let the parts be x

75 is in ratio of 2:3

hence

2x+3x=75

5x=75

x=15

2x=2*15=30

3x=3*15 = 45

therefore the smallest part be 30
