Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is divided in to two parts with the ratio 5:3

Lets take the value x and then calculate the total length of each part.

Line is divides into two part 5x and 3x.

The length of line is 24cm.

5x+ 3x = 24

Now solve the algebric equation,

8x = 24

x= 24/8

x= 3

We calculate the value of x,

Now put the value of x, in 5x and 3x

5x

5 × 5 = 25 cm,

3x,

3 × 3 =15 cm,

So the length of each part is 25cm and 15cm.
