Answer: 32cm and 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation: let us take the 2:1 as 2x + 1x
2x +1x = 48
3x = 48
x= 48/3
x= 16
2x = 2* 16 = 32cm
1x = 1 * 16 = 16 cm
Therefore the 1st piece is 32 cm and the 2nd piece is 16 cm

Answer:
Length of the ribbon = 48 cm
Ratio to be divided = 2 : 1
= 2 + x = 2x
= 1 + x = 1x
= 2x + 1x = 3x
Therefore,
3x = 48 cm
x = 48/3 = 16/1 = 16
= 2x = 2 x 16 = 32 cm
= 1x = 1 x 16 = 16 cm
Answer : The length of one piece is 32 cm and other piece is 16 cm of the ribbon.
