Question

if 84 is divided in the ratio 5.9 what is the greater of the two parts

Answer 1

Take the total number of parts, add them together, and divide 84 by it. Then multiply what you get for that number by 3, 5 and 6. Those are you answers.

3 + 5 +6 = 14

84/14 = 6

6*3 = 18(smallest)

6*6 = 36(largest)

6*5 = 30
