Answer 2

Given : The sum of money is Rs. 360

To find : To divide the given sum of money in the ratio of ¼ : ⅙

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to divide the given sum of money in the given ratio)

The ratio is :

= ¼ : ⅙

= ¼ ÷ ⅙

= ¼ × 6

$= \frac{6}{4}$

$= \frac{3}{2}$

= 3 : 2

Let, the two divisions of the money = Rs. 3x and Rs. 4x

According to the data mentioned in the question,

3x + 2x = 360

5x = 360

x = 360/5

x = 72

So, the first division = Rs. 3x = Rs. (3 × 72) = Rs. 216

The second division = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 × 72) = Rs. 144

Hence, the divisions are Rs. 216 and Rs. 144
