What is the partition of 120 in the ratio 2:6:8

Sagot :

Answer:

15:45:60

Solution:

To find the value of each part, we divide 120 to the total parts of the ratio

Since there are a total of 16(2+6+8) parts, thus

[tex]\frac{120}{(2+6+8)} = 7\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then we multiply each of the three numbers in our ratio by the value of each part

[tex]7\frac{1}{2} (2) = 15[/tex]

[tex]7\frac{1}{2} (6) = 45[/tex]

[tex]7\frac{1}{2} (8) = 60[/tex]

Problem:

What is the partition of 120 in the ratio 2:6:8

Solution:

2x + 6x + 8 x = 120

16x = 120

x = 7.5

2x = 2(7.5) = 15

6x = 6(7.5) = 45

8x = 8(7.5) = 60

Answer:

120 is partitioned as 15, 45 and 60
