1. A 5 meter long stick is cut so that one part is 2/3 of the other. How long (in meter) is the shorter segment?
- A. 1.25
- B. 1.25
- C. 1.25
- D. 1.25
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the longer segment be m.
Therefore, the shorter segment is (2/3)m = 2m/3
Now, m + 2m/3 = 5 or, m = 3
Therefore, the shorter segment is (2/3) x 3 = 2 meter.
