Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
A 40 meters rope was cut into 2 parts in the ratio of 2:3. How long is the shorter part?

### Response:
 Kamba ilikatwa sehemu 2 + 3 = <<2+3=5>>5.
Hivyo kila sehemu ni urefu wa mita 40/5 = <<40/5=8>>8.
Kwa kuwa sehemu fupi ina sehemu 2, basi urefu wake ni 8 x 2 = 16 mita.
