Question

separate 56 into two parts such that one is 6 times the other

Answer 1

Let, one number be x.

So, the other number is 6x.

Therefore, x+6x=56

=> 7x=56

=> x=56/7

=> x=8

One number is 8.

the other number is 6*8

=48

So, the answer is 8 and 48.

You can check the answer by adding 8 and 48. The result is 56 and 48 is 6 times greater than 8.

So, 8 and 48 is the answer.

Hope this helps you!!

Answer 2

Let one part be X

Other part be56-x

X=6(56-x)

X=336-6x

X+6x=336

7x=336

X=336/7=48

X=48

56-48=8

Let the no be8and48
