Divide a line segment $45 cm$ into three parts whose ratio is $5:7:3$.

Two numbers are in a ratio of $3:7$. If $4$ is added to each of them, then the ratio becomes $1:2$. Find the numbers.

Two numbers are in a ratio of $4:5$.If $7$ is subtracted from each of them, then the ratio becomes $3:4$. Find the numbers.

What number must be added to each term of the ratio $7:5$, so that the ratio becomes $5:4$?

What number must be subtracted from each term of the ratio $15:23$, so that the ratio becomes $7:15$?
