A wire is cut in 2. The shorter is 18cm. The lengths are 5:2 ratio, find the longer piece?

I found the "divide by one number, then multiply by the other" completely on my own as a kid
Needless to say, that was the peak of my intelligence

@knight I'm sure it was not your peak. ;) But I appreciate the humor. :)

2 : 5 = 18 : 45 (or 2/5 = 18/45) and that's it (18 cm and 45 cm).

[@alupatienceehida-agbons8657]

(18÷2)×5=45cm

If the question is what is the length of the longer of the 2 wires isn't the answer 27? There are 2 pieces of wire one 18cm = 2/5 and one 27cm = 3/5cm and the total length of the wire is 45cm.

5/2*18=5*9=
