Question

Let’s divide 132 into two parts such that 3/5th of one part is equal to 1/2 of the other part.

Answer 1

Answer:

60 and 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two parts be x and y

So, x+y=132

x=132-y ------(i)

Also, (3/5) × x = (1/2) × y

3x/5 = y/2

y = 6x/5 -------(ii)

From(i), x = 132-y

(ii)==> y = 6(132-y)/5

y = (792 - 6y)/5

11y = 792

y = 72

x = 132 - y = 132 - 72 = 60
