Question

Divide 84 into two parts such that 1/4 of one part is equal to 1/3 of the other part.​

Answer 1

Answer:

48, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 parts be x, y

x + y = 84

1/4 x = 1/3 y

x y

_ = _

4 3

x 4

_ = _

y 3

x : y = 4 : 3

x+y = 84

4parts + 3 parts = 84

7 parts= 84

1 part = 12

x = 4 parts = 48

y= 3 parts = 36
