Draw a line segment of length 7.6cm and divide it in the ratio of 5:8. Measure the two parts.

Given :

The line segment of 7.6 cm  is divided in the ratio of 5:8.

To do :

We have draw the line segment of length 7.6 cm, and divide it in the ratio of 5:8

Solution :

The line segment of 7.6 cm  is divided in the ratio of 5:8

Therefore, the two parts are,

$ \begin{array}{l}
\frac{5}{8+5} \times 7.6\ cm\ =\ \frac{5}{13} \times 7.6\ cm\ =\ 2.92\ cm\ \
\
\frac{8}{8+5} \times 7.6\ cm\ =\ \frac{8}{13} \times 7.6\ cm\ =\ 4.68\ cm
\end{array}$
