1/3 cm and 2/3 cm.
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.
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.
piece a has a greater length than piece b (a>b)

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 192 inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other. Find the length of the short piece
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.
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.
piece a has a greater length than piece b (a>b)
I think 9 and 3... no, its 5 and 7.
If 104 yards of ribbon is cut into 14 equal length pieces, each piece will have length of 7.43 yards, to the justified number of significant digits.

Let x be the length measure of the shortest piece of wood, and 3x the length measure of the other piece of wood. So we have: x + 3x = 8 4x = 8 divide by 4 to both sides; x = 2 The length measure of the shortest piece of wood is 2.
Longer: 6.75ft Shorter: 6.25ft
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.

Suppose the shorter piece is x feet long. Then the longer piece is x+1 feet long. The total length of the two pieces is x + (x+1) = 2x+1 feet. So 2x+1 = 9 so 2x = 8 so x = 4' and then the other piece is 5'
