\n" ); document.write( "Divide 76 into two parts so that two-thirds of one part is equalto 3/5 of the other part
\n" ); document.write( "

Let 1st part be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then other part is: 76 - F
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: __________
\n" );
document.write( "5(2F) = 3(228 - 3F) ------- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "10F = 684 - 9F
\n" );
document.write( "10F + 9F = 684
\n" );
document.write( "19F = 684
\n" );
document.write( "F, or 1st part = , or
\n" );
document.write( "Other part: 76 - 36, or  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
