Answer:
length of pole = 60 cm
Explanation:
the 7 part of the ratio relates to the longer part 35 cm
divide 35 cm by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio
35 cm ÷ 7 = 5 cm , then
5 parts = 5 × 5 cm = 25 cm ← length of shorter part
length of pole is then the sum of the 2 parts , that is
length of pole = 25 + 35 = 60 cm
