1.       The ratio of a wire that is cut
in to 2 is 5:9

The longer piece was 25cm. Now, find the total length and the length of the
shorter wire.

=> 5 : 9 = x : 25

=> First, let’s convert it to fraction

=> 5 = 9
      x   25

=> 25 (5) = x (9)

=> 125 = 9x

=> 125 / 9 = 9x / 9

=> 13.9 = x

Thus the ratio is approximately 5 : 9 = 13.9 : 25
