Question

The plot of land,600 sqm in area,is divided between two persons such that the first person gets three-fifths of what the second gets.Find the share of each

Answer 1

let second get be x
first person get = 3x/5
3x/5+x = 600
3x+5x/5 =600
8x/5 = 600
x = 600×5/8
x =75
second get = 75 sqm^2
1st get = 3/5×75 =45 square metres
