Question

A length of 63 meters long is divided into two parts in the same way when the length of a part is the fifth part of the second part, the length of the small piece?

Answer 1

Heya !

Here's your answer !!


________________________


GIVEN THAT :

Length = 63 m


ON DIVIDING :

Length of the first part is one fifth of the second part. Hence, the first part is smaller than the second part.


TO FIND :

Length of the small piece.


SOLUTION :


Let the length of second part be x

First part = 1/5 × x


A.T.Q.

=> x + x/5 = 63

=> ( 5x + x )/5 = 63

=> 6x/5 = 63

=> x = 63 × 5/6

=> x = 21 × 5/2

=> x = 21 × 2.5

=> x = 52.5 m


Length of small part =

=> 52.5/5

=> 10.5 m ANS
