Question

divide a rope of length 560 cm into two parts such that twice the length of the smaller part is equal to 1/3 of the larger part then find the length of the larger part

Answer 1

Answer: 480

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ,

Smaller part-time x

Then,Larger part- 560-x

Given,

2x=1/3(560-x)

Solving it we will get x=80

Then Larger part would be= 560-80

= 480

Answer 2

Let the length of smaller part be x cm and the length of longer part will be 560-x
According to the question
2x=1/3(560-x)
6x=560-x
6x+x=560
7x=560
x=80
Length of smaller part = 80cm
Length of Longer part=560-x=480cm
