Question

Divide a rope 168 meteres long into two parts such that one part may be 3 by 11 of the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

one part is 36meter and other is 132 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose one part is x and other is y

x=3/11y

x+y=168

put value of x

3/11y+y=168

14y/11=168

y=168*11/14=132

so, y is 132meter

x+y=168

x+132=168

x=168-132=36

so, x is 36meter
