Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

1/5

Discussion:

$12000 * (1/5) = $2400

$12000 * ( 1/10) = $1200

As 2400 > 1200, (1/5) is the best way to go

Thank you,

MrB

a segment is divided into two parts having lengths in the ratio of 5:3. if the difference between the lengths of the parts is 6

iren [92.7K]

2 parts.....ratio is 5:3...added = 8.....so one of the parts is 5/8 of the total...5/8x....and the other part is 3/8 of the total...3/8x

the difference is 6...
5/8x - 3/8x = 6
2/8x = 6
x = 6 * 8/2
x = 48/2
x = 24

so the total length is 24
with the longest being : 5/8(24) = 15 <==
and the shortest being : 3/8(24) = 9
