Question

divide rs.1024 in the ratio 9:7

Answer 1

Let the common multiple be x
9x + 7 x = 1024
16x = 1024
x = 1024/16
x = 64
Now to divide it in the ratio 9:7..
9x = 64*9...576
7x = 64*7...448
This is the answer to the question.
576,448 is divided in the ratio 9:7 of the number 1024.

Answer 2

Let take,

9 : 7 = 9x and 7x

so, if 9x + 7x = 1024 ( as the 1024 to be distributed)
=> 16x = 1024
=> x = 1024 /16 ( dividing both side by 16)
=> x = 64

So, if x= 64

we have 9x = 9 x 64 = Rs.576
and 7x = 7 x 64 = Rs.448
