The route of length 40 m Must be cut into 2 pieces in the ratio Two point three Find the length of the shortest piece
Let the shorter piece be x meters in length.
According to the given ratio, the longer piece will be 2.3x meters in length.
Therefore, x + 2.3x = 40
3.3x = 40
x = 40/3.3
x ≈ 12.12
So, the length of the shortest piece will be approximately 12.12 meters.
