A rope 64 inches long is cut into three pieces The second piece is 4 inches longer than the first The third piece is 6 inches longer than the first How many inches long is each piece?
first piece is 18 inces second is 22 inches third is 24 inches
A board 8 feet 6 inches long is cut into 3 pieces How long is each piece?
8 feet 6 inches = 102 inches. If the three pieces cut are equal in length then each would be (102/3) = 34 inches long (not accounting for material wasted in the cutting process).
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.
Which is greater one half or one third and why?
One half is greater. If some had 100 dollars and they said you could have some of it, would you rather get 50 dollars or 33 dollars and some change? One half is when the whole piece is divided into two pieces - 1/2 + 1/2 =1 One third is when the whole piece is divided into three pieces - 1/3+1/3+1/3 = 1 So, if you divide something into 2 pieces the pieces will be bigger than if you divide something into 3 pieces.
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.
