Divison is easy! all you have to do is know multiplication, like for example 8 divided by 4 = 2 .. because you can see 4x2 equals 8 so do it from the end to the beginning ( if that makes sense, i’m like really bad at explaining thing sorry )
Answer:
Here is how it should look
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The original piece of wood is 108 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given ratio, the shortest is of the ratio 5 and the longest is of the ratio 7
Let the original piece of wood be x
so the sum of the ratios will be;
5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 24
the shortest length would be 5/24 * x
= 5x/24
the longest will be 7/24 * x = 7x/24
From the question;
7x/24 -5x/24 = 9
(7x-5x) = 24(9)
2x = 24(9)
x = (24 * 9)/2
x = 108 cm
