Question

draw a line segment of length 5.5cm .divide it internally in the ratio 2:3. what is the length of each part

Answer 1

let the length of each part be x
2:3 =2x and 3x
length of line = 5.5 cm
2x +3x = 5.5
5x = 5.5
x = 5.5/5
x = 1.1
.
therefore, 2x = 2.2 cm
3x = 3.3 cm
Hence the length of parts = 2.2 cm and 3.3 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

length of each part is 2.2 and 3.3
