Given:
Length of rope = 1 m 17 cm
Ratio of pieces it is divided into = 6:7
To find:
Step 1. - convert 1 m 17 cm into cm
= 1 m = 100 cm
= 1 m = 1 x 100 cm + 17 cm
= 117 cm (answer)
Set 2. - Divide 117 cm into ratio 6:7
= 117/ 6 + 7
= 117/13
= 9 (length of average piece)
= 9 x 6:9 x 7
= 54:63 (answer)
Conclusion:
Therefore, the length of two pieces of rope are 54 cm and 63 cm or 54:63.
Answer:
0.54m , 0.63m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the ratios of pieces be 6x , 7x.
1cm = 1/100m . So, 17cm = 17 × 1/100m = 0.17m
Total length = 1m + 0.17m = 1.17m
But this length is divided into two parts which are 6x and 7x. So,
6x + 7x = 1.17m
13x = 1.17m
x = 1.17/13
x = 0.09
So length of first piece = 6 × 0.09 = 0.54m
length of 2nd piece = 7×0.09= 0.63m
