A string of length 160cm is cut into 2 pieces, in the ratio 3:5. Find the length of each piece

One piece is 60 cm and the other is 100cm

Lets think, "x" as the length of each piece.

3 + 5 is 8. So,

x/160 = 3/8

x= 3/8*160

x= 60

x/160 = 5/8

x= 5/8 * 160

x= 100

Brainliest pls if it was correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

3:5=

3×5=15

5×3=15

3/15×160=32

the first piece is 32

the second piece=5/15×160=53.334

answer: x=60
