Question

a tree of height 4.8 metre is broken into three pieces in the ratio 3 :4 :5 find the length of each piece​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio is 3:4:5

total length is 4.8 m = 4.8 × 100 = 480 cm

3x + 4x + 5x = 480

12x = 480

x = 480/12

x = 40 cm

x = 0.40 m

the length of pieces are

3x = 3 × 0.40 = 1.2 m

4x = 4 × 0.40 = 1.6 m

5x = 5 × 0.40 = 2 m

hope you get your answer
