Answer:

The second part of 72 is [tex](\frac{215}{3}) [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole part is given  as  = 72

One part of it = 1/3

Let  the other part of it  = k

Now,according to the question:

First Part + Second Part = 72

or, [tex]k +  (\frac{1}{3})   = 72[/tex]

⇒[tex]k   = 72  -   (\frac{1}{3}) [/tex]

or, [tex]k   =   (\frac{216 -1}{3})  \implies k = \frac{215}{3}[/tex]

or, k = 215/3

Hence, the second part of 72 is [tex](\frac{215}{3}) [/tex]
