Question

Divide 33 in the ratio 3:8

Answer 1

Answer: 9:24

Step-by-step explanation: 9:24= 3:8 (using multiples of 3) and add up 24+9=33

Answer 2

9 and 24

Explanation:

Recall that for a given number A and the given ratio x : y, the two parts having the ratio x : y is (xA) / (x + y) and (yA) / (x + y).

Given A = 33, x = 3, y = 8,

• (xA) / (x + y) = (3*33) / (11)
• = 99/11
• = 9

And,

• (yA) / (x + y) = (8*33) / (11)
• = 264/11
• = 24

Hence, the parts are 9 and 24 respectively.
