Question

anushka cuts a ribbon of 30m into 3 pieces in the ratio 3:2:5 find the longest piece​

Answer 1

Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of ribbon = 30m

The longest piece => 3x+2x+5x = 30

10x = 30

x = 30/10 = 3m

The longest piece is = 5 × 3 = 15m..

Answer 2

Answer:

Third piece that is 15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the length of the pieces as x

so 3:2:5=30

3x:2x:5x=30

3x+2x+5x=30

10x=30

x=30/10

x=3

first piece = 3x3=9

second piece=2x3=6

Third piece=5x3=15

so third piece is longest
