    The number 50 is divided into two equal parts, the ratio of the largest part to the smallest is 2/3, then the largest part is?

    If there is a "largest part" a "smallest part", and the ratio of smallest to largest isn't one, then the number 50 isn't divided into two equal parts

    If you take out the word equal the largest part would be 30

    If you take out the ratio, the largest part would be 25.
