Question

We divide 300 into 2 parts such that 1/2 of the first and 1/3 of the second are equal. Find the difference of two parts

Answer 1

Answer:

the difference is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=300

1/2x=1/3y

X=300-y

1/2(300-y)=1/3y

150-y/2=1/3y

300-y/2=y/3

2y=900-3y

5y=900

y=180

and x=300-180

X=120

so x=120 and y=180

now y-x=180-120

that is 60
