Question

A ribbon will be cut in the ratio 2:3:5. If the smallest cut should be (4x +2) cm, how long should the longest cut be? Choose your answer from the choices below:

o (5x + 10) cm
o (20x +10) cm
o (10x +5) cm
o 5x cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of ribbon be L

hence by law of proportions ,

length of smallest cut = 2/10 * (L)

given as 4x +2 in question

hence L = 20x + 10

longest cut = 5/10 * (20x + 10) = 10x + 5

hence answer is third option...

Answer 2

Answer:

20x+10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2 is 4x+2 what is 5

u will multiply 5 by 4x+2 and divide it by 2

2 will be the dinomeneter and to remove it you multiply it by 2 and u will be left with ur answer
