Question

A line segment of a length 84cm has been divided into two parts in the ratio 4:3 find the length of each part.

Answer 1

4:3=84

7x=84

X=12

4x=4×12

=36

3x=3×12

=36

Answer 2

Answer:

length = 84cm

now ratio of two parts = 4:3

therefore, let 4x and 3x be the values

4x+3x = 84

7x = 84

x=84/7

x= 12

now 4x=12×4

4x=48

and 3x=3×12

3x = 36
