Question

length of line segment 9.1cm it is divides in the ratio of 5:8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of line segment = 9.1cm

Ratio of division = 5:8

Let the ratio be x as 5x : 8x

Now if you cut any line into two pieces, then the sum of those pieces would be equal to the length of line itself.

Therefore, 5x + 8x = 9.1

= 13x = 9.1 cm

= x = 0.7

Length of first piece = 5x = 5*0.7

= 3.5 cm

Length of second pieces = 8*0.7

= 5.6cm
