Question

A line is divided into three part. The first part is two thirds the length of the second part, the third part is 1/2 cm shorter then the first part and 2 cm shorter than the second part. What is the length of the line

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so assume these three parts are A,B&C

A:B=2:3

and according to given info

A-C=0.5cm

B-C=2cm

using above equation

B-A=1.5cm final equation

using above ratio and final equation

common factor for ratio is X

B-A=1.5cm=1X

A=2*1.5=3cm

B=3*1.5=4.5cm

A-C=0.5cm

3-C=0.5cm

C=3-0.5=2.5cm

final solution is

A=3cm

B=2.5cm

C=4.5cm
