Divide the number 480 in a ratio of 3:5

Mathematics

Schach [20]2 years ago

If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing 480 into 8 parts (3+5).


So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60


Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300


To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:


180+300 = 480. All good.


Hope this helps

Answer:

The number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide the number 480 in the ratio 3:5

Let the numbers after dividing be 3x and 5x

(3x:5x=3:5)

3x+5x=480

⇒ 8x=480

Dividing both sides by 8, we get

x=60

So, the numbers after dividing are:

3×60=180

and 5×60=300

Hence, the number 480 after dividing in the ratio 3:5 are 180 and 300

A rural mail carrier logged the mileage on the odometer at the start of the mail route as 31,500 miles. After 6.5 hours, the car
disa [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed = total distance / total time taken

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken

The carrier first odometer route is

d_1 = 31,500 miles

On return of the truck, the odometer reads

d_2 = 31,713 miles

The total time taken is 6.5 hours on return

Then,

Average Speed = total distance / total time.

A.V = (d_1 + d_2) / t

A.V = (31,500 + 31713) / 6.5

A.V = 63213 / 6.5

A.V = 9725.1 mile per hour

A.V = 9725.1 mph
