What is the length of wire cut into the ratio of 2:3:5 where the middle part is 7m?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"7%2F3\" is the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "Find the length of the other two segments
\n" ); document.write( "2*\"7%2F3\" = \"14%2F3\" = 4\"2%2F3\" m
\n" ); document.write( "5*\"7%2F3\" = \"35%2F3\" = 11\"2%2F3\" m
\n" ); document.write( "Find the total length
\n" ); document.write( "4\"2%2F3\" + 7 + 11\"2%2F3\" = 23\"1%2F3\" meters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
