Answer:
Fraction = 0.6 or 6/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Assume that fraction is x/y
So
x/y = 3/5 , x + y = 16
x/y = ?
Solution:
x/y = 3/5
= x/y = 0.6
= x = 0.6 y
Putting value of x in equation 2:
x + y = 16
= 0.6 y + y = 16
= 1.6 y = 16
=y = 16/1.6 = 10
For x:
x + y = 16
= x = 16 - y
= x = 16 - 10
= x = 6
Fraction = 0.6 or 6/10
