    Three numbers in the ratio 2:3: 4. The sum of their cubes is 0.334125. Find the numbers.

    Answer:

    Let the number be 2x, 3x and 4x, then
                                   \[{{(2x)}^{3}}+\text{ }{{(3x)}^{3}}+\text{ }{{(4x)}^{3}}=0.334125\]
               
                                                 \[8{{x}^{3}}+27{{x}^{3}}+64{{x}^{3}}=0.334125\]
                                                                     \[99{{x}^{3}}=\text{ }0.334125\]
                                                                   \[{{x}^{3}}=\frac{0.334125}{99}\]
                                                       \[{{x}^{3}}=\text{ }0.003375\]
                      
                                                                 \[{{x}^{3}}=\frac{3375}{1000000}\]
                                                                   \[x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3375}{1000000}}\]
                                                                                 \[=\frac{15}{100}\]
    = 0.15
    Hence, the number are 0.3, 0.45 and 0.6.
