Find the numbers: Divide the number 60 in two parts such that One part is equal to ten more than the other.
Answers
Since the two parts are in the ratio 5:3, then let the first number be 5x and second number be 3x. As second number is 10 more than the other, so it will be 3x+10.
5x=3x+10
2x=10
x=5
The first number becomes 5(5)=25 and second number becomes 3(5)=15.
The new number will be 25+15=40.
Answer:
A number is divided in to two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other. If the two parts are in the ratio 5:3, find the number and the two parts.
solution:
let one part of number = x
therefore , other part of number = x+10
according to question ,
x+10/x=5/3
3(x+10)= 5x
3x+30 =5x
30 = 5x -3x
30 = 2x
or x=30/2
x=15
therefore one part of number = 15
and other part = 15+10 =25
hence number = 15+25 =40

Answer: One part of number is 15 and other part of number is 15+10=25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one part of number= a
Therefore other part of number = a+10
Ratio 5:3 can also written in the form of fraction 5/3
According to question (ATQ)
a+10/a=5/3
3(a+10)=5a
30=5a-3a
30=2a
a=30/2
a=15
Therefore one part of number=15
And other part of number=15+10=25
Hence number=15+25=40...
Hope this will help you....
