Question

A line segment 32 cm long is divided into two parts in the ratio 3ratio 5. find the length of each part.​

Answer 1

Answer:

16cm each because 16×32

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

length of line segment = 32cm

After dividing the line into two parts, length of eact part = 3:5

To Find :

Length of each part after dividing the line segment.

Explanation :

Let the length of each part = 3x and 5x.

so,

According to the given question-

3x + 5x = 32cm

8x = 32cm

x = 32/8

x = 4cm

Now,

we found the value of x.

so,

===> 3x :

putting the value of x in 3x =

:- 3×4

= 12cm.

===> 5x :

putting the value of x in 5x

:- 5×4

= 20cm.

Therefore,

Length of each part of line segment =>

12cm and 20cm
