Question

divide 960 between x and y in the ratio of 7.5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be 7x, 5x

7x + 5x=960

12x=960

x=960/12

x=80

x=7x=7 x 80

        =560

y=5x=5 x 80

        = 400

Answer 2

Answer:

560 and 400

Step-by-step explanation:

The number = 960

Ration in which the number will be divided = 7 : 5

Amount for x = $\frac{7}{12} * 960$ = 560

Amount for y = $\frac{5}{12} * 960$ = 400

If 960 is divided between x and y in the ratio 7 : 5, they will get 560 and 400 respectively.
