Question

800 in the ratio 9:13:18

Answer 1

Solution:

we have been asked to divide 800 in the ratio of 9:13:18.

Let each part of 800 be 9x, 13x and 18x. Then we can write

$9x+13x+18x=800\\ \\ 40x=800$

Divide both the sides by 40 we get

$x=20$

Hence the required values after dividing 800 in the given ratio is

$9x=9*20=180\\ \\ 13x=13*20=260\\ \\ 18x=18*20=360$

Hence the values are 180, 260 and 360.
