Question

A Rope Was Cut Into Three Pieces,The Length Of The Three Pieces Are In Ratio 3:4:5. Find The Length Of The Smallest Piece.If The Length The Longest Is 40m

Answer 1

Answer:

24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

let's take the length of three pieces as 3k,4k and 5k (where k is a constant)

if the longest length is 40m

then we can take 5k =40

Or k= 8

then the length of smallest piece is 3k means (3×8)=24m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of the three pieces be 3x, 4x and 5x respectively.

Given; the longest piece i.e.,5x=40m

therefore,x=40/5

x=8m

since, x=8m

3x(the smallest ratio)=3*8m=24m.
