Question

divide a rope of length 5 60cm into two parts such that twice is the length of the smaller part is equal to 1/3 of the larger. Then find the length of the larger part​

Answer 1

480cm

Explanation:

smaller part x

second part - 560 - x

Now, according to the question :-

2x = 1/3(560- x)

2x = 560/3 - x/3

6x = 560 - x

6x + x = 560

7x = 560

x = 80

so, smaller part = 80cm

larger part = (560 - 80) =480cm
