Question

Divide a line of 1.8m into three parts in the ratio of 5:7:8​

Answer 1

0.45 m, 0.63 m, 0.72 m

Explanation:

Let the three parts of the line be 5x, 7x and 8x

Therefore,

5x + 7x + 8x = 1.8

20x = 1.8

x = 1.8/20

x = 0.09

5x = 5*0.09 = 0.45 m

7x = 7*0.09 = 0.63 m

8x = 8*0.09 = 0.72 m
