Question

divide 900 in the ratio 2:3:5

please explain it step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

900 divided in the ratio 2:3:5 is 180 , 270 and 450 respectively,

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number 900 has to be divided in the ratio of 2:3:5

That is 2x : 3x: 5x where x is a constant

Then 2x + 3x + 5x = 900

10x = 900

x= 900/10

x = 90

Then 2x = 90*2 = 180

3x = 90*3 = 270

5x = 90*5 = 450

Therefore if 900 is divided in the ratio of 2:3:5, the numbers are 180, 270 and 450

Answer 2

Here we have to divide 900 in the ratio 2:3:5

Let the numbers be 2x, 3x, and 5x

Then, 2x + 3x + 5x = 900

                        10x = 900

                            x = 90

So, 2x = 2 × 90

         = 180

    3x = 3 × 90

          = 270

   5x = 5 × 90

        = 450

Hence, the three numbers will be 180, 270, and 450
