Question

An iron rod is cut into 3 parts in the ratio 3:4:5 if the total length of rod is 888 M find out the length of each part

Answer 1

let the length of 1st part=3x
     the length of 2nd part=4x
     the length of 3rd part=5x
A.T.Q
 3x+4x+5x=888
 12x=888x=888/12
 x= 74
now,
the length of 1st part=3x=3*74=222m
the length of 2nd part=4x=4*74=296m
the length of 3rd part=5x=5*74=370

I hope it helps...

Answer 2

Given:

An iron rod is cut into 3 parts in the ratio 3:4:5.

The total length of the rod is 888m.

To find:

The length of each part of the rod.

Solution:

The length of each part of the rod is 222m, 296m and 370m.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

As given in the question, we have

An iron rod is cut into 3 parts in the ratio 3:4:5.

So,

Let the common ratio be x.

So, the length of the three parts is 3x metre, 4x metre and 5x metre.

Also,

The total length of rod = 888m

So,

$3x + 4x + 5x = 888$

$12x = 888$

$x = 74$

Now,

The length of the three parts of the rod is

3x = 3(74) = 222m

4x = 4(74) = 296m

5x = 5(74) = 370m

Hence, the length of the three parts of the rod is 222m, 296m and 370m.
