Question

if 1500 is divided into two parts in the ratio 2:5 then what will be the smaller part ?​

Answer 1

Given :

• Total = 1500
• Ratio of two parts = 2:5

To Find :

• Smaller part.

SoluTion :-

Let's assume the number as x

$\implies\sf \: 1500 = 2x + 5x$

$\implies \sf \: 1500 = 7x$

$\implies \sf x = \dfrac{1500}{7}$

$\implies \tt {x = 214.29}$

$\therefore \underline \pink {\sf {Smaller \: part = 2x = 2(214.29) = 428.58}}$
