Answer 2

Given: 55 is divided into 3 parts which are in the ratio 1:1/2:1/3.

To find: We have to find the middle part.

Solution:

To determine the middle part of 55 we have to follow the below steps as follows-

The given ratio is 1:1/2:1/3.

Multiplying the ratio with 6 we get-

6:3:2

This is the simplified ratio.

Thus 55 is divided in 6:3:2 ratio.

According to the ratio overall number is( 6+3+2)x=11x.

Where x is a constant.

So, we can write-

$11x = 55 \\ x = 5$

The value of x is 5.

So, the middle part is 3×5=15.

So, the middle part is 15.
