Diride 660cm in the ratio of 5:6

Thus, the measure 660 cm is divided into 300 + 360 in the ratio of 5:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

We are required to divide 660 cm in the ratio 5:6, or 5/6.

Let's call:

x = first part of 660

660 - x = second part of 660

The ratio between them is 5/6.

The above equation will result in x as the smaller part of 660.

Multiply by (660-x)*6 to eliminate denominators:

Operating:

Simplifying:

Solving:

The other part is 660 - 300 = 360

Thus, the measure 660 cm is divided into 300 + 360 in the ratio of 5:6
