If you let x equal the short piece then 3x would be the long piece.
x + 3x = 24
4x = 24
x = 6
3x = 18
So, the shorter piece would be 6 ft. and the longer piece would be 18 ft.
50" and 10" 60 = 5x + x = 6x; x = 10
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 102 centimmeter board is cut into two pieces so that one piece is five times as the other . How long is each piece
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.
Oh, dude, you're testing my math skills now? Alright, let's see... Well, since 1 meter is 100 centimeters, 3 meters would be 300 centimeters. So, you can cut 10 pieces of 30cm lengths from a 3m length. Math can be fun, right?
piece a has a greater length than piece b (a>b)
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.
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.
Using algebra it works out that the lengths are 8.4 feet and 33.6 feet because 4*(8.4) = 33.6 and 8.4+33.6 = 42 feet
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.
There will be 300 pieces of steel cable if it is cut into 8-centimeter lengths. This calculation is done by converting the total length of 24 meters into centimeters (2400 cm) and then dividing by the length of each piece (8 cm).
There can be 5 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.
28=A+B+c b=2A c=4A subst. a=4 b=8 c=16
50" and 10" 60 = 5x + x = 6x; x = 10
Yes, in chess, kings can capture pieces just like any other piece on the board. However, it is not common for kings to take pieces because they are the most valuable and vulnerable piece on the board.
A single piece of wood can be as long as the tallest tree. California Redwood. Something like 150 feet. Finger jointed can be any length. Common lengths go to 16 ft. 20 and 24 at some lumber yards.
