Answer:
longer log is 116.9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
i.e. 2 meter = 200 centimeters
let x be the length of the log
two logs are cut in two lengths in a ratio of 7:5
i.e.
7x + 5x = 200
12x = 200
x = 200/12 = 16.7 cm
thus,
log with the longer length = 7x = 7 * 16.7 = 116.9 cm
