Question

Divide 132 kg in a ratio of 3:3:5?

Answer 1

For some number
`x`, the number 132 can be divided into
`3x`,
`3x`, and
`5x`.

The sum of the three numbers is

`3x+3x+5x=132`

Solve for
`x`:

`3x+3x+5x=132`

`\rightarrow11x=132`

`\rightarrow x=12`

Plug into
`3x` and
`5x`:

`3x=3*12=36`

`5x=5*12=60`

So the division comes out as 36 kg, 36 kg, 60 kg.

Answer 2

add the ratios together and divide them by 132. then times the number by the answer you get.

3+3+5=11

132÷11=12

12×3=36

12×3=36

12×5=60

so: 36:36:60
