Divide 64 cm long string into two parts in the ratio 5 : 3.
✓
Answer
Sum of ratios $=5+3=8$
$\therefore$ first part $=\frac{5}{8}$ of $64 \mathrm{~cm}=40 \mathrm{~cm}$
Second part $=\frac{3}{8}$ of $64 \mathrm{~cm}=24 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ first part $=\frac{5}{8}$ of $64 \mathrm{~cm}=40 \mathrm{~cm}$
Second part $=\frac{3}{8}$ of $64 \mathrm{~cm}=24 \mathrm{~cm}$
