Question

A 35 cm line segment is divided into parts in the ratio 2:3 find the length of each part​

Answer 1

Answer:

let first part be= 2x

second part be= 3x

2x+3x=35

5x=35

x=35/5

x=7cm

therefore, first part= 2×7= 14cm

second part = 3×7=21cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of each part - 14 cm and 21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length = 35 cm

Ratio of each part = 2:3

Length of Part 1 = 2

Length of Part 2 = 3

Then, To find the length of each part in cm..

First add the given ratio = 2:3

= 2 + 3

= 5

Later,..

The length of Part 1 = 2 × 35 (total line segment)

5 (sum of ratio)

= 14 cm

The length of Part 2 = 3 × 35 (total line segment)

5 (sum of ratio)

= 21 cm
