~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



        Calculations in the post by @mananth are incorrect.

        I came to bring a correct solution.



If one part is x
the other part will be 2x/3
x+ 2x/3 =75
(3x+2x)/3=75
5x = 225
x = 45
You can find the other part
2/3 x = 2/3 * 45 = 30.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The parts are 45 cm and 30 cm.


Solved correctly.
