Solution:
we have been asked to divide 800 in the ratio of 9:13:18.
Let each part of 800 be 9x, 13x and 18x. Then we can write
[tex] 9x+13x+18x=800\\
\\
40x=800\\ [/tex]
Divide both the sides by 40 we get
[tex] x=20 [/tex]
Hence the required values after dividing 800 in the given ratio is
[tex] 9x=9*20=180\\
\\
13x=13*20=260\\
\\
18x=18*20=360\\ [/tex]
Hence the values are 180, 260 and 360.
