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

Answer 1

length of the line segment =84cm

Ratio=4:3

4x+3x=84

7x=84

x=84/7=12

4x=4×12=48

3x=3×12=36

Answer 2

Answer:

84is divided into the ratio 4:3

so let the length be 4x ,3x

4x+3x= 84

7x = 84

X = 84 /7

X = 7

4x = 4*7= 28

3x =3*7= 21
