Question

tony has to divide a rod which is 540cm long into three pieces in the ratio 1 3 2 how long would each piece be?

Answer 1

Answer:

The lengths of each piece of rod are 90cm, 270cm and 180cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the rod is 540 cm. We need to divide the rod in the ratio of 1:3:2. So the lengths of each piece rod are $\dfrac{1}{6} ,\dfrac{3}{6}$ and $\dfrac{2}{6}$ parts of the rod.

Thus we have the lengths of each piece of the rod as given below.

$\dfrac{1}{6}\times 540 =90 cm$

$\dfrac{3}{6}\times 540=270 cm$

$\dfrac{2}{6}\times 540=180 cm$

So the lengths of each piece are 90 cm, 270cm, and 180 cm
