Answer:
The parts of 64 are 40 and 24
Explanation:
Let us use the ratio method to solve the question
∵ The ratio is 5: 3
→ Find the sum of the two terms of the ratio
∵ 5 + 3 = 8
∵ We want to divide 64 in this ratio
→ By using the ratio method
→ 5 : 3 : 8
→ x : y : 64
→ By using cross multiplication
∵ x × 8 = 5 × 64
∴ 8x = 320
→ Divide both sides by 8
∴ x = 40
∵ y × 8 = 3 × 64
∴ 8y = 192
→ Divide both sides by 8
∴ y = 24
∴ The parts of 64 are 40 and 24
