Answer 1

Given :

• A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 10 more than the other. If the two parts are in the ratio 5:3.

To Find :

• The number and the two parts

Solution :

Let's Assume,

• The first number be 3x
• The second number be 5x

One part is 10 more than the other [Given]

• The first number will be 3x + 10

According to the Question :

• 3x + 10 = 5x
• 10 = 5x - 3x
• 10 = 2x
• 10/2 = x
• 5 = x

Therefore :

• The first number = 3x
• The first number = 3 × 5
• The first number = 15

• The second number = 5x
• The second number = 5 × 5
• The second number = 25

• The number will be = 15 + 25 = 40 .
