1.Interesting question!!
Well friends whenever you find these type of question, then just follow what the question says, step by step solve the question and get the answer.
Come to this question.
The line is divided in to two parts with the ratio 4:3
Lets take the value x and then calculate the total length of each part.
Line is divides into two part 4x and 3x.
The length of line is 35 cm.
4x+ 3x = 35,
Now solve the algebric equation,
7x = 35,
x= 35/7,
x= 5,
We calculate the value of x,
Now put the value of x, in 4x and 3x
4x,
4*5 = 20 cm,
3x,
3*5=15 cm,
So the length of each part is 20cm and 15cm.
Thank you!
