QUESTION:

ANSWERS:

The ratio of 2:3 means total length will be [tex] \sf{2 \: parts + 3 \: parts = 5 \: parts}[/tex].

And now, 5 part of 20 cm will be [tex] \sf{20/5 = 4 \: m}[/tex].

[tex] \sf{2 \times 4 = 8 \: m}[/tex] the length of shorter length similarly.

[tex] \sf{3 \times 4 = 12 \: m}[/tex] the length of longer part.

in total [tex] \sf{12 + 8 =} \: \underline{20}[/tex].

[tex] \: [/tex]

Final Answer:

  • The length of the shorter piece is 20 m.
