Question

Divide a rope of length 560cm in two parts such that twice the length of smaller part is equal to1/3 of larger part . Then find the length of larger part.

Answer 1

Sum = 560 1/3 = 560amswer

Answer 2

Answer:

480 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are give that  a rope of length 560 cm in two parts

Let the larger part be x

Total length = 560 cm

Smaller part = 560-x

Now we are given that twice the length of smaller part is equal to1/3 of larger part .

$\Rightarrow 2(560-x)=\frac{1}{3}x$

$\Rightarrow 1120-2x=\frac{x}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 3(1120-2x)=x$

$\Rightarrow 3360-6x=x$

$\Rightarrow 3360=7x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3360}{7}=x$

$\Rightarrow 480 =x$

hence the length of the larger part sis 480 cm
