Question

Divide up the number 480 in a 3:5 ratio.

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it helps you~

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing £480 into 8 parts (3+5).

So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60

Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300

To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:

180+300 = 480. All good.

Answer 2

HEY!

We have to divide the number 480 in the ratio 3:5

Let the numbers after dividing be 3x and 5x

=(3x:5x=3:5)

3x+5x=480

⇒ 8x=480

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

x=60

So, the numbers after dividing are:

3×60=180

and 5×60=300

Hence, the number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300.
