Question

Divide 5600 in the ratio 4 :5:7
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

So in our case, let assume 'x' as a common factor.

Thus,

4x + 5x + 7x = 5600;

16x = 5600;

x = 5600/16 = 350.

So,

4x= 350*4 =1400;

5x= 350*5 = 1750; &

7x= 350*7 = 2450.

Your answer is, 5600 = 1400+1750+2450 which is in ratio of 4:5:7.
