Question

Divide a line segment of length 4.8 cm in ratio 3:5 initially and justify it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sum of the ratio = 3+5 = 8.

First part = 3/8 of 4.8 cm = 1.8 cm.

Second part = 5/8 of 4.8 cm = 3 cm.

To check your answer, u can add the ratios to get the length of the line segment

since 1.8 cm +3 cm = 4.8 cm.
