1500 is divided into three parts, 1/2 of the first part is same
\n" ); document.write( " as 1/3rd of the second and
\n" ); document.write( " 3/5th of third.
\n" ); document.write( " find each part
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"1500 is divided into three parts,\"
\n" ); document.write( "a + b + c = 1500
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"1/2 of the first part is same as 1/3rd of the second\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ a = $\"1%2F3\"$ b
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F2\"$ a = b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"and 3/5th of third. find each part\"
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ a = $\"3%2F5\"$ c
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by (5/3)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F6\"$ a = c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "replace b and c in the total equation
\n" ); document.write( "a + $\"3%2F2\"$ a + $\"5%2F6\"$ a = 1500
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 6, results
\n" ); document.write( "6a + 3(3a) + 5a = 6(1500)
\n" ); document.write( "6a + 9a + 5a = 9000
\n" ); document.write( "20a = 9000
\n" ); document.write( "a = 9000/20
\n" ); document.write( "a = 450 is the 1st part
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "b = $\"3%2F2\"$ *450
\n" ); document.write( "b = 675 is the 2nd part
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "c = $\"5%2F6\"$ *450
\n" ); document.write( "c = 375 is the 3rd part
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that adds up: 450 + 675 + 375 = 1500 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
