Divide 6000 into three parts is the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6

Question

Divide 6000 into three parts is the ratio \(\frac{1}{2}: \frac{1}{3}: \frac{1}{6}\)

Answer 1

Given   \(\frac{1}{2}: \frac{1}{3}: \frac{1}{6}\) multiply by 6, we get 3:2:1 

1st part = \(\frac{3}{6}\) × 6000 = 3000 

2nd part = \(\frac{2}{6}\) × 6000 = 2000 

3rd part = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × 6000= 1000
