B.

Point P divides AB in the ratio 5:8. Measuring the lengths, we get AP=2.9 cm and PB=4.7 cm.

Answer 2

Given:

Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5:8. Measure the two parts.

Solution:

part I

$: \implies \sf \:7.6 \times \frac{5}{13} \\ \\ : \implies \sf = \frac{38}{13} cm \:$

part II

$: \implies \sf \:7.6 \times \frac{8}{13} \\ \\ : \implies \sf \: \frac{60.8}{13} cm \: \:$

${\boxed{ \sf{the \: measure \: of \: the \: lengths \: in \: ratio5 :8 = \frac{38}{13} and \frac{60.8}{13} }}}$

hope this helps.!!
