Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

put x in the ratios , thats 3x:4x:5x then add them

12x

12x=4.8

x=0.4

therefore the length of the each peice is 1.2m , 1.6m , 2m

Answer 2

Answer:

Total length of tree = 4.8 m

Let, three ratios are 3x,4x,5x

Sum of the given ratios = Total length of tree

3x+4x+5x = 4.8 m

12x = 4.8m

x=4.8m /12

x = 0.4 m

Value of 3x = 0.4×3 = 1.2m

Value of 4x = 0.4×4= 1.6m

Value of 5x = 0.4×5 = 2m

So, the length of three pieces of tree will be 1.2m, 1.6m, 2m
