The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the three-digit number as \( xyz \), where \( x \) is the hundreds digit, \( y \) is the tens digit, and \( z \) is the units digit. ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the problem statement 1. The sum of the hundreds and units digits is 6: \[ x + z = 6 \tag{1} \] 2. The sum of the tens and units digits is 5: \[ y + z = 5 \tag{2} \] ### Step 2: Solve the equations From equation (1), we can express \( z \) in terms of \( x \): \[ z = 6 - x \tag{3} \] Now, substitute equation (3) into equation (2): \[ y + (6 - x) = 5 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ y + 6 - x = 5 \implies y - x = -1 \implies y = x - 1 \tag{4} \] ### Step 3: Determine the possible values of \( x, y, z \) Since \( x, y, z \) are digits, we have the following constraints: - \( x \) must be less than 6 (from equation (1)). - \( y \) must be less than 5 (from equation (2)). - \( x \) must be at least 1 (since it is a three-digit number). From equation (4), we can substitute possible values for \( x \): 1. If \( x = 2 \): - From (4): \( y = 2 - 1 = 1 \) - From (3): \( z = 6 - 2 = 4 \) - Digits: \( x = 2, y = 1, z = 4 \) → Number: 214 2. If \( x = 3 \): - From (4): \( y = 3 - 1 = 2 \) - From (3): \( z = 6 - 3 = 3 \) - Digits: \( x = 3, y = 2, z = 3 \) → Number: 323 3. If \( x = 4 \): - From (4): \( y = 4 - 1 = 3 \) - From (3): \( z = 6 - 4 = 2 \) - Digits: \( x = 4, y = 3, z = 2 \) → Number: 432 ### Step 4: Check divisibility Now we need to check if each number is divisible by the sum of its digits: 1. For 214: - Sum of digits = \( 2 + 1 + 4 = 7 \) - \( 214 \div 7 = 30.57 \) (Not divisible) 2. For 323: - Sum of digits = \( 3 + 2 + 3 = 8 \) - \( 323 \div 8 = 40.375 \) (Not divisible) 3. For 432: - Sum of digits = \( 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 \) - \( 432 \div 9 = 48 \) (Divisible) ### Step 5: Find the ratio of the unit and tens digits From the valid number 432: - Units digit \( z = 2 \) - Tens digit \( y = 3 \) The ratio of the unit digit to the tens digit is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{z}{y} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answer The ratio of the unit digit to the tens digit is \( \frac{2}{3} \).
