Answer 2

Answer:

X=16m

Y=8m

Z=4m

Step-by-step explanation:

A:B:C=D

GIVEN: Three pieces X, Y, Z IN THE RATIO 4:2:1

in Proportion is 4/x=2/y=1/z=?/28

let use L for the lenght:

4L+2L+1L=28

7L=28                   divide both sides by 7

L = 4

Then 4:2:1 multiply each ratio by 4 to find each lenght

4=16 2=8 1=4   in PROPORTION 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4 = 7/28

X=16

Y=8

Z=4
