Three numbers are to one another 2:3:4. The sum of their cubes is 0.334125. Find the numbers.

Lest assume the numbers be 2a, 3a, and 4a.


According to the question:


(2a)3+ (3a)3+(4a)3 = 0.334125


= 8a3+27 a3+64 a3 = 0.334125


=99 a3 = 0.334125


= a3 =


= a =


= a =


= a =


Thus the numbers are:


2×0.15 = 0.30


3×0.15 = 0.45


4×0.15 = 0.60
