Divide 54 into two parts such that one part is 2/7 find the other
If one part is 2/7 of the other, then we can divide 54 into 9 parts such that each is 6.
Now we see that the two parts are
2*6 = 12
7*6 = 42
12 is 2/7 of 42
To find the other part when one part of a number is known, you can use the concept of proportions.
Let's say the other part is represented by "x".
According to the given information, one part is 2/7 of the whole. So we can set up the equation:
2/7 = x/54
To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply:
2 * 54 = 7 * x
108 = 7x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate "x":
108/7 = x
Therefore, the other part is approximately 15.43 when rounded to two decimal places.
