Let the length of the shorter piece be ( x ) feet. Then the longer piece would be ( 2x ) feet. According to the problem, the total length of the rope is 36 feet, so we can set up the equation: ( x + 2x = 36 ). Solving this gives ( 3x = 36 ), which means ( x = 12 ) feet for the shorter piece, making the longer piece ( 2x = 24 ) feet. Therefore, the long piece must be 24 feet long.

Jack cut a piece of wood that was 8 feet long into two pieces. One piece is three times as long as the other. How long is the shorter piece of wood?
Let the length of the shorter piece of wood be ( x ) feet. Then, the longer piece is ( 3x ) feet. Together, they add up to 8 feet, so the equation is ( x + 3x = 8 ). Solving this gives ( 4x = 8 ), so ( x = 2 ). Thus, the shorter piece of wood is 2 feet long.
A rope17 ft long is cut into 2 pieces one piece is 2 ft longer than the other what are the lenghts of the pieces?
One of them is 9.5 feet long and the other is 7.5 feet long.Explanation:Let us take piece one as X and piece two as Y.1. X + Y = 172. X - Y = 22X = 19 => X = 9.5Take statement 2 from above. 9.5 - Y = 2 => Y = 7.

11 feet! y=2x+3 x+y=15 2x+3+x=15 3x=12 x=4 15-4=11 the two pieces are 4 feet and 11 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.
