Question

Divide 450 grams into ratio 7:2

Answer 1

Let us assume the common ratio = x
Then from the given question we can write
7x + 2x = 450
9x = 450
x = 450/9
   = 50
Then the quantity 450 grams can be divided in the ratio of 7 : 2 by = 7x:2x
                                                                                                          = (7 * 50) : (2 * 50)
                                                                                                          = 350:100
I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure for finding the answer is also absolutely clear to you.
