Answer 1

Answer:

If we divide 60 in the ratio of 2: 3. then the numbers are 24 and 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number = 60

And ratio = 2: 3

If the common multiple is x

Then two numbers are 2x and 3x.

As per the given condition

$2x + 3x = 60$

$5x = 60\\ x=\frac{60}{5} \\ x= 12$

So, the numbers are 24 and 36.

Answer 2

In context to question asked,

We have to divide 60 in ratio of 2 : 3.

As per question,

Total parts = 60.

So, let the part will be 2x and 3x.

So, we can say that,

2x and 3x will makes 60.

So, we will get,

$2x+3x = 60\\=>5x = 60\\=>x = \frac{60}{5} =12$

So, the parts will be following,

$2x = (2\times 12) = 24\\3x = (3\times 12) = 36$

So, when we will divide 60 into ratio of 2:3, we will get parts of 24 and 36.
