The value of 300 is divided into 120 and 180 in the ratio of 2:3.
Explanation:
- The total value is 300.
- This total of 300 should be divide in the ratio of 2:3.
Let us assume that the common factor be x in the ratio.
- The value of the part A is 2x.
- The value of the part B is 3x.
It is known that, 2x + 3x = 300
⇒ 5x = 300
⇒ x = 300/5
⇒ x =60.
To find the values of A and B :
A= 2x
⇒ 2(60)
⇒ 120
B= 3x
⇒ 3(60)
⇒ 180
The value of 300 is divided into 120 and 180 in the ratio of 2:3.
