A tree is to be pruned so that the ratio of the length of the branch to be removed to that of the remaining is 1:2. If a branch is 6 m long,what is the length of a. the branch to be removed? b. The remaining branch?

Sagot :

Partitive Proportion.. 
1 + 2 = 3
6 ÷ 3 = 2
2 (1) = 2 - removed
2 (2) = 4 - remaining

1 : 2 = 2 : 4

Therefore, the answer to your questions are
a. 2 m
b. 4 m
