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
" find the length of the longest part
1 answer:
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

Answer:
19.2 but if u cant us decimals take out 2
Step-by-step explanation:
you time 8 by 12 and then divide it by 5
As fraction it would be 6/30 reduced 1/5 and as percentage 20% so 20% of the students were off.<span />
