Answer:
125 cm and 75 cm
125:75 = 5:3
Explanation:
Let the number be 5x and 3x
we are taking these value because in ratio
a:b = ax:bx
that is if we multiply both part of ratio by a same number ratio remains same.
____________________________________________________
Since we have divided 200 cm in two parts with value 5x and 3x
Thus,
sum of 5x and 3x will be equal to 200 cm
5x+3x = 200cm
8x = 200cm
x = 25 cm
Thus,
first part = 5x = 5*25 = 125 cm
other part = 3x = 3*25 = 75cm
