Question

the sum of three numbers is 212. if the ratio of the first to the second is 13:16 and that of the second to the third is 2:3, then find the number

Answer 1

sum = 212 let first no.= 13x*16x=208x
let second no.=2x *3x=6x
208x+6x=212
214x=212
x=212/214
x= 16/17
x=1.0625
no.= 13*x
=13*1.0625
=13.8125

Answer 2

Answer:sum = 212 let first no.= 13x*16x=208x

let second no.=2x *3x=6x

208x+6x=212

214x=212

x=212/214

x= 16/17

x=1.0625

no.= 13*x

=13*1.0625

=13.8125
