Ruth cuts a piece of string into 3 parts there lengths are ratio 2: 3: 5. the longest part is 35 centimeters. how long is the shortest part

14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If three parts have the ratio between their lengths 2:3:5, then the shortest part has the length of 2x cm, the middle part - 3x cm and the longest part - 5x cm.

Since the longest part is 35 cm, then

5x=35,

x=7 cm.

So, the shortest part is 14 cm long.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
