The ratio is rational and by multiplying or dividing the numbers included in the ratio by the same number, it's just like taking a fraction and taking it out of simplest form, it doesn't change the value of the ratio or the fraction in simplest form, it just changes the numbers

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is one hundred fifty-nine
xeze [42]
First remember that sum means to add. now think about the equation. we need to find 3 numbers that equal 159 when added together. And they are all consecutive odd numbers. so let's call the first number X. the second number would be X+2 since we have to jump over 1 even number. The third number would be X+4 since we have to jump over 2 even numbers. so now an equation to represent this would be X+(X+2)+(X+4)=159. Add like terms, and remember order of operations. if you need help getting the answers leave me a comment.

Divide 54 into two parts so that four times the greater equals five time the less​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30

Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24
