Question

A line is divided into two parts in the ratio 2.5 : 1.3. If the smaller one is 35.1 cm, find the length of the line.

Sum

Solution

Ratio between two part = 2.5 : 1.3

Let first part = 2.5x cm

and second part = 1.3x cm

1.3x = 35.1

`x = 35.1/1.3`

x = 27

Length of larger part = 2.5 × 27

= 67.5 cm

Length of line = 35.1 + 67.5

= 102.6 cm
