Question

Divide rs85 into1:2 ratio

Answer 1

let the common ratio be x
so parts = x and 2x
by the problem,
x+2x =85
=> 3x = 85
=> x = 85/3
=> x = 28.33
so x = 28.33
so 2x = (28.33×2)= 56.66
so the parts are Rs28 and Rs57
* ANSWER IS IN APPRIXMATION.
ACTUAL VALUES ARE: i) Rs28.3333333
ii) Rs56.6666666
IN FRACTION:i) Rs28 1/3 & ii) Rs56 2/3

Hope it helps u

Answer 2

Ratio = 1 : 2 (Given)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 1 : FIND THE TOTAL PARTS:

Let x be the constant ratio

1x + 2x = 3x

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 2: FIND EACH PART:

3x = 85

.

To find 1x , we divide 85 by 3

x = 85 ÷ 3

x = 85/3 = 28 1/3

.

To find 2x, we multiply x by 2:

2x = 85/3 x 2 = 56 2/3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANSWER: 28 1/3 : 56 2/3
