Question

divide 954 in the ratio 5;7

Answer 1

Answer:

take 5=5x and 7=7x

5x+7x= 954

12x = 954

x=954/12

x= 79.5

5x= 5×79.5 = 397.5

7x= 7×79.5 = 556.5

Answer 2

Let us assume the value of 5:7 be 5x and 7x

• so, 5x +7x =954
• 12x = 964
• x= 964/12
• x=79.5
• 5x= 5×79.5(x)= 397.5
• 7x= 7× 79.5(x)= 556.5
