Question

a 35cmline segment is divided into two parts in the ratio 4:3 find the length of each part​

Answer 1

The ratio is 4:3

let the common multiple be x, then;

4x + 3x =35

7x = 35

x = 5

as the common multiple is 5 then the respective length of two parts are

4x = 4×5 =20 cm

3x = 3×5 = 15 cm
