divide 405 in the ratio 3:12
give your final answer in the form ... and ...
what that didn't really explain the question
There is something wrong with this,
Useless
They are saying that 405 can be divide by 5 and split into the ratio 1:4
The heck
To divide 405 in the ratio 3:12, you first need to find the total number of parts in the ratio. Adding the two parts together (3 + 12), we get a total of 15 parts.
To find the share for each part, divide the total value (405) by the total number of parts (15):
405 / 15 = 27
Now, we have the value of each part, which is 27.
To find the share for each part in the ratio 3:12, multiply the value of each part (27) by the corresponding number in the ratio.
For the first part (3), multiply 27 by 3: 27 * 3 = 81
For the second part (12), multiply 27 by 12: 27 * 12 = 324
Therefore, dividing 405 in the ratio 3:12 gives us the final answer of 81 and 324.
Let the two parts be 3x and 12x
3x + 12x = 405
solve for x, then find 3x and 12x
In the original question why did they not reduce the ratio of 3:12 to 1:4 ?
Repeat the solution with that ratio to see that you will get the same final answer.
