Question

Divide 59ml into two parts so that one part is 7ml less than five times the other parts​

Answer 1

Answer: The two parts are 48 ml and 11 ml.

Explanation:

Let x= The quantity in the other part ( in ml).

Then, the quantity in the first part = 5x-7

Since , Whole part = Sum of both parts

According to the question , we have

`59=5x-7+x\\\\`

Add 7 on both sides , we get

`66=6x`

Divide both sides by 6 , we get

`11=x`

i.e. Value of x= 11

Therefore , the quantity in the first part = 5(11)-7=48 ml

The quantity in the other part = 11 ml.

Hence, the two parts are 48 ml and 11 ml.
