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.
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.
To find the number of pieces, divide the total length of the string by the length of each piece. In this case, the string is 25 1/2 inches long and each piece is 3/4 inch long. Dividing 25 1/2 by 3/4 will give you 34 pieces.
l = 100/p inches.
This will depend on how long you would like each piece to be. If each piece is to be 1 inch long, then 115 pieces could be cut. If each piece is 2 inches long, then 57 pieces with 0.5 inches left over If each pieces is 5 inches long, then 23 pieces and so on and so forth.
If cutting off 5 inches left 4 inches, then the original length of one piece was 9 inches. The other piece was also 9 inches. Therfore the original piece of construction paper was 18 inches
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.
Two pieces, one 9 inches long and the other 45 inches long. If you meant: How many pieces of ribbon 9 inches long can be cut from a piece 54 inches long, then: 54 inches ÷ 9 inches/piece = 6 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!
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.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think the answer is One piece will measure 22 inches The other should measure 14 inches As 2 x 14 = 28 therefore 22 inches is six inches less than 28
To find the number of pieces, divide the total length of the string by the length of each piece. In this case, the string is 25 1/2 inches long and each piece is 3/4 inch long. Dividing 25 1/2 by 3/4 will give you 34 pieces.
15 inches
I think 9 and 3... no, its 5 and 7.
l = 100/p inches.
To find out how many 3.5 inch pieces can be cut from a 63-inch ribbon, divide the total length of the ribbon (63 inches) by the length of each piece (3.5 inches). The calculation is 63 ÷ 3.5 = 18 pieces. Therefore, 18 pieces of 3.5 inches can be cut from a 63-inch ribbon.
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.
