Question

Determine a point which divides a line segment of length 12 cm internally in the ratio 2 : 3. Also, justify your answer.

Answer 1

m:n=2:3
2x+3x=12
5x=12
x=2.4
so the line segment will be divided in
2x=2.4×2=4.8cm
and,
3x=2.4×3=7.2cm

Answer 2

Heya mate,Here is ur answer

Let the common ratio be x.

So, the ratio is 2: 3 .

So,part 1 =2x

part 2 =3x

Given : length of the rope = 12 cm

A/Q

2x+3x=12

5x=12

x=12/5

x=2.4

So, part 1 = 2×2.4

= 4.8

Part 2 =3×2.4

= 7.2

So, the point that divides rope of length 12 cm in ratio 2:3 is (4.8,7.2)
