Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ribbon originally =30cm

Let the original length be 5x and reduced length be 3x.

But 5x=30cm

⟹x= 30/5=6cm

Therefore, reduced length =3×6cm=18cm

Answer 2

Answer:

The reduced length of the ribbon is 18cm.

Step-by-step Explanation

To Find :-

• The length of ribbon now.

★ Solution :-

Given that,

• The original length of ribbon = 30cm.
• The ratio of ribbon reduced = 5:3

Let us assume the original length of ribbon as 5x and the reduced ribbon as 3x.

Given,

→ The original length of ribbon = 30cm

and we assumed the original length as 5x.

Finding the value of x :-

➝ 5x = 30

➝ x = 30/5

➝ x = 6

We got, The value of x as 6.

∴ The reduced length is :-

We assumed the reduced length as 3x,

➝ 3x

➝ 3*6

➝ 18cm

Hence, The reduced length is 18cm.
