Application problem a piece of wire was cut into 2 pieces in the ratio 7 8 the shorter piece was 14cm find the length of the longer pieces?
If a piece of wire was cut into 2 pieces in the ratio 7:8 and the shorter piece was 14cm, then the length of the longer piece will 16cm.
A 12ft board is cut into two pieces of different lengths express the length of the longer piece in terms of the length of the shorter piece?
piece a has a greater length than piece b (a>b)
A 76-inch board is cut into two pieces One piece is three times the length of the other Find the lengths of the two pieces. The short piece is how many inches long?
x the length of the shorter piece 3·x the length of the longer piece x + 3·x the length of the whole board = 4·x = 76" x = 76" / 4 = 19.
A 27 foot board is cut into two pieces with lengths in ratio 4 5 what is the length of the longer piece?
Length of the longer piece is 5/9 of 27 feet. So, Length of longer piece = {5/(4+5)}x27 = {5/9}x27 = 15 feet.
A ribbon 9 feet long is cut into two pieces one piece is 1 foot longer that the other what are the lengths of the pieces?
Let the length of the shorter piece be x feet. Therefore, the length of the longer piece would be x + 1 feet. Since the total length of the ribbon is 9 feet, we can write the equation x + (x + 1) = 9. Solving this equation, we find that the shorter piece is 4 feet long and the longer piece is 5 feet long.
A 116 inch pipe is cut into two piecesOne piece is three times the length of the other find the lengths of two pieces?
Write an equation and solve it. Call the length of the shorter piece "x", in this case, the longer piece is "3x". The sum of the two is equal to 116 inches.
A 16-foot piece of string is cut into two pieces so that the longer piece is 1 foot longer than twice the shorter piece. Find the lengths of both pieces?
Total length = 16ft Let the longer piece = x ft Let the other piece = (16-x)ft equation, x - 2(16-x) = 1 x - 32 + 2x = 1 3x = 33 x = 11ft 16-x = 5ft Longer piece = 11ft shorter piece = 5ft
A meterstick broke into two pieces. If one piece was 54 cm long how long was the other piece?
If the original meterstick was broken into two pieces, and one piece is 54 cm long, then the other piece would be the total length of the meterstick (100 cm) minus the length of the first piece. Therefore, the length of the other piece would be 100 cm - 54 cm = 46 cm.
A 80 inch pipe is cut into two pieces.One piece is three times the length of the other. find the lengths of two pieces.?
Oh, what a happy little problem we have here! If we let the length of the shorter piece be x inches, then the longer piece would be 3x inches. Since the total length is 80 inches, we can set up the equation x + 3x = 80 and solve for x. The shorter piece is 20 inches long and the longer piece is 60 inches long. It's just that easy!
How would you write an equation for the following. A 21-foot beam is to be cut into three pieces so that the second is triple the length of the first and the other piece is 1 foot longer than the 1s?
3x + 12 + x = 21
When two pieces of rope are placed end to end their combined length is 130 feet. When the two are place side by side one is 26 feet longer then the other. What are the lengths of the two pieces?
Here is how to solve this type of problem: Since you have 2 pieces that add up to 130 figure out what they would be if they were of equal length. If one piece is 26 feet longer than the other that means one piece is half of 26 longer than half of 130, the other is shorter by the same amount, so... 130/2=65 26/2=13 65+13=78 65-13=52 Lets see if that adds up. 78+52=130, so that's good. 78-52=26 so that is good as well. One piece is 78 feet long, the other is 52.
What would be the length of that diagonol piece of pipe?
A bit longer than this piece of string!
