of the total no of solder in our army 4/9 are posted on northan border and 1/3 of them on the north easters border if number of soilder in north is 5,40,000 then how many posted in north east

Answer 1

Let total soldier be x so 4/9*x=540000
X=540000*9/4=135000*9=1215000
So,soldeirs in North East border=1/3*1215000=405000

Answer 2

Answer:

405000 soldiers are posted in north east.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

4/9 of the total soldiers are posted on northern border

1/3 of them on the north eastern border

Solution :

Let total no. of soldiers be x

Soldiers on northern border = $\frac{4}{9} x$

Soldiers on north eastern border = $\frac{1}{3} x$

We are also given that number of soilder in north is 5,40,000

⇒$\frac{4}{9} x = 5,40,000$

⇒$4x = 5,40,000*9$

⇒$4x = 4860000$

⇒$x= \frac{4860000}{4}$

⇒$x=1215000$

Thus total no. of soldiers are 1215000

Soldiers on north east border =  $\frac{1}{3}*1215000$

                                                  = 405000

Hence 405000 soldiers are posted in north east.
