Question

the height of 2 drums is in the ratio of 2 : 3 if the sum of the heights is 15 find the height of both drums

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of 1st drum=2x

height of 2nd drum=3x

Sum of heights of drums=15

2x+3x=15

5x=15

x=15/5

x=3

Putting value of x=3,we get

So, height of 1st drum=2*3

=6

and, height of 2nd drum=3*3

=9
