Divide 54 into two parts such that one part is 2/7 of the other.

Solution:

Given, 54 is divided into two parts

One part is 2/7 of the other.

We have to find each part.

Let the other part be x

First part = 2/7 (x)

According to the question,

x + 2x/7 = 54

(7x + 2x)/7 = 54

9x/7 = 54

9x = 54(7)

x = 54(7)/9

x = 6(7)

x = 42

Now, first part = 2(42)/7

= 2(6)

= 12

Therefore, the other part is 42 and the first part is 12.
