The length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.
<h3>How to find the original length of the rope using ratio?</h3>
He cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2.
The shorter piece is 70 cm long.
The length of the original rope can be calculated as follows:
The ratio of the length of the rope is as follows;
5 : 2
let
x = length of the original rope
Therefore,
length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70
length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70
length of shorter piece = 140 / 7
length of shorter piece = 20 cm
Therefore, the length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.
