heya!
here's ur answer...
length of the pipe=2m72cm
in cms=2.72×100
=272cm
let the Length of two piece of pipe be 3x and 5x.
therefore 3x+5x=272cm
→8x=272cm
→x=272/8
→x=34cm
hence length of 1st piece=3x
=3×34
=102cm
length of 2nd piece=5x
=5×34
=170cm
verification:-
length of pipe=272cm
=102+170
=272cm
hence verified
hope this helps..!
