Sum of 500 Ratio of their two parts is 5:3 The sum of ratios of two parts will be equal to the actual sum given. Let the ratio of two parts be 5x and 3x Sum of Ratios =5x+3x=8x=500 Value of first part =(
5x
8x
)×500=312.5 Value of second part =(
3x
8x
)×500=187.5 ∴ The value of two parts is 312.5 and 187.5 respectively.
