How can i divide a parallel line of 40cm into ratio 3:2:3

let x be one of the part of the string and represent ratio 3,that mean 40-2x represent ration 2

x/(40-2x)=3/2
x=15

that mean the string can be divide into 15cm, 10cm and 15cm

let the three parts be 3x, 2x and 3x

then 3x+2x+3x= 40
8x=40
x=5

3x---> 15
2x---> 10
3x---> 15

To divide a parallel line of 40 cm into the ratio 3:2:3, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Start by adding up the parts of the ratio, which in this case is 3 + 2 + 3 = 8.

2. Divide the total length of the line by the number of parts in the ratio. In this case, divide 40 by 8 to get 5.

3. Multiply each part of the ratio by the value obtained in step 2.

To divide the line into the ratio 3:2:3:
- Multiply 3 by 5, which equals 15 cm.
- Multiply 2 by 5, which equals 10 cm.
- Multiply 3 by 5, which equals 15 cm.

So, the lengths of the segments in the ratio 3:2:3 are 15 cm, 10 cm, and 15 cm.
