Divide 56 in a ratio of 5:3.

In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21. Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21

To divide 56 in the ratio of 5:3, you first add the ratio parts (5 + 3 = 8), then divide 56 by 8 to find each part's value (56 ÷ 8 = 7). Finally, multiply each part of the ratio by this value (5 × 7 = 35 and 3 × 7 = 21), resulting in 35 and 21 as the parts of the division.
