Answer:
102.5cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller part = 1.3
The bigger part = 2.5
Ratio = 2.5/1.3
The goal is to get either the denominator or the numerator to equal one.
In this case I'll make the denominator equal one by multiplying it by its inverse
- 1.3 * 1/1.3
I'll do the same to the numerator to make the resulting ratio, equal to the original
- 2.5 * 1/1.3
The resulting ratio will be 1.92:1
Meaning the bigger part of the line is 1.92 * the smaller part
The smaller part is 35.1cm, so the bigger part would be 35.1cm * 1.92 = 67.4cm
The length of the line = bigger part + the smaller part
» length of the line= 67.4cm + 35.1cm = 102.5cm.
Answer: 102.5cm.
I hope I explained it well
