Line segment

The 4 cm long line segment is enlarged in the ratio of 5/2. How many centimeters will measure the new line segment?

Correct answer:

x =  10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=4\text{ cm } \\ p={\displaystyle \frac{5}{2}}=2.5 \\ x=p\cdot a=2.5\cdot 4=10\text{ cm} \end{gathered}$$
