Question

a line is divided into two parts in the ratio 2.5:1.3. if the smaller one is 35.1 cm,find the length of the line

Answer 1

67.392cm is the solution after the process

Answer 2

Answer:

Let x be the length of the line

» lengths are :

2.5x and 1.3x (Given)

surely , 1.3x would be the smallest

$\therefore \: 1.3x = 35.1 \\ \\ \implies \: x = 27$

$\therefore \: the \: length \: of \: second \\ = 2.5x \\ = 2.5 \times 27 \\ = 67.5$

The length of line = 1.3x + 2.5x

= 67.5 +27

= 94.5
