Given :-
- A boy wishes to divide a board of 20 cm long into 3 pieces
- He divided the board in the ratio of 1 : 2 :4
To Find :-
- We have to find the length of each divided piece of board
Let's Begin :-
Let the given ratios be 1x, 2x and 4x
- The total length of the board is 28 cm
- He divided it in ratio 1 : 2 : 4
Therefore,
According to the question,





Thus, The value of x is 4
Now,
Length of first piece = 4 cm
Length of second piece


Length of third piece


Hence, The length of each piece of board is 4 cm , 8cm and 16cm .

Given :-
- A wholesaler bought 840 m of curtain material
- He decided to divide into 3 bundles in the ratio 2 : 5 : 7
To Find :-
- We have to find the length of each of the bundle of curtains
Let's Begin :-
Let the given ratios be 2x, 5x and 7x
- The total length of curtains is 840 m
According to the question,





Thus, The value of x is 60
Now,
Length of the first bundle of curtains


Length of the second bundle of curtains


Length of the third bundle of curtains


Hence, The length of each bundle of curtains is 120m, 300 m and 420 m
