Question

A pole of length 165cm is divided into two parts such that their lengths are in the ratio 7: 8. Find the length of each part of the pole.

Answer 1

Answer:

77 and 88 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

165 cm is to be divided into two lengths in the ratio 7 : 8 and 7 + 8 = 15.

Therefore, length of one (shorter) part = 7/15 × 165 cm = 77 cm.

And, length of other (longer) part = 8/15 × 165 cm = 88 cm.
