Question

a line segment 32 cm long is divided into two parts in the ratio 3:5 . Find the length of each part

Answer 1

Let the meet of ratio be x.

Hence =) 3x + 5x = 32cm

=) 8x = 32cm

=) x = 32/8 = 4cm

Hence parts are 12cm and 20cm.

Hope it's helpful to u.

Answer 2

Given; a line segment 32 cm long is divided into two parts in the ratio of 3:5

To Find ; length of each part

Solution; Since the given ratio is 3:5

So the length of 1st part is 3x and the second part is 5x

Total length= 32

8x=32

x=4

Hence length of 1st part is 12cm and second part is 20 cm
