    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
