Question

16. A 28-meter piece of string is divided into 3 parts in the ratio 1 1/2: 2 1/4 :3 how long is each peice​

Answer 1

Each have length of as follows:
First part=56/9 m
Second part=28/3 m
Third part=112/9 m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have:

1 1x/2+2 1x/4+3x= 28 meter

=>3x/2+9x/4+3x= 28

=>6x+9x+3x/4= 28

=> 18x/4= 28

=> x=28×4/18

=> x= 6.22(approx)

hence:

1 1x/2= 9.33 meter

2 1x/4=13.995 meter

3x= 18.66
