2. Two numbers are in the ratio of 3 : 5. If 8 is added

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

 x/y = 3/5

=> x = (3/5)y   (1)

(x + 8)/(y + 8) = 2/3

=> 3*(x + 8) = 2*(y + 8)

=> 3x + 24 = 2y + 16

=> 3x - 2y = -8   (2)

From (1) and (2), we have:

=> 3*(3/5)y - 2y = -8

=> (-1/5)y = -8

=> y = 40

=> x = (3/5)*y = (3/5)*40 = 24

=> Solution: x = 24, y = 40

Hope this helps!

:)

For travel purposes,a touring company places all 33 travelers into equal sized groups . how many groups are there and how many t
Katyanochek1 [597]

There are 3 groups of 11 travellers each or 11 groups of 3 travellers each.

Since we have 33 travellers and we need to divide them into equal sized groups, we need to find the factors of 33.

<h3 /><h3>Factors of 33</h3>

So, 33 = 1 × 33 = 3 × 11

So, the two factors of 33 we require are 3 and 11.

<h3 /><h3>The groups of travellers</h3>

Since 11 × 3 = 3 × 11,

So, 3 × 11 implies that we can have 3 groups of 11 travellers each and,

11 × 3 implies that we can have 11 groups of 3 travellers each.

So, there are 3 groups of 11 travellers each or 11 groups of 3 travellers each.
