Divide 6400 in the ratio 5:3

There are 5+3=8 parts.

6400/8 = 800

So, the division is 800*5 and 800*3

Divide £12600 in the ratio 7:11

To divide 6400 in the ratio 5:3, you would first add the two parts of the ratio together to get the total number of parts (5 + 3 = 8). Then, divide the total value (6400) by the total number of parts (8) to find the value of one part.

6400 ÷ 8 = 800

Now that we know the value of one part is 800, we can find the value of each part by multiplying the value of one part by the corresponding ratio values.

For the first part (5), multiply:
5 x 800 = 4000

For the second part (3), multiply:
3 x 800 = 2400

Therefore, dividing 6400 in the ratio 5:3 would result in parts of 4000 and 2400.
