Question

Divide the number 952 into two parts in the ratio of 3:5
​

Answer 1

3x+5x=952

8x=952

x=952/8 =119

So 3x =3×119=357

5x=5×119=595

Os 3:5=357:595

Answer 2

let the ratios be 3x & 5x

then 3x +5x = 952

8x = 952

x = 952/8

x= 119

so, first part is 3 × 119 = 357

& second part is 5 ×119 = 595
