Question

A pieceof wood is cut into 3 pieces A,B and C, in the ratio 2:3:5. If C is longer than B by 8 cm, find the length of the stick.

Answer 1

Answer:

40cms

Step-by-step explanation:

A, b and c are in the ratio of 2:3:5

Therefore,

A = 2x

B = 3x

C = 5x

Now,

C is longer than B by 8cm,

5x = 3x + 8

5x - 3x = 8

2x = 8

Hence, x = 4cms

Therefore,

Length of A is 2x i.e 2X4 = 8cms

Length of B is 3x i.e 3X4 = 12cms

Length of C is 5x i.e 5X4 = 20cms

Hence, Total Length is equal to A+B+C i.e 8+12+20 = 40cms

Therefore,

The length of the stick is 40cms.
