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'

How many pieces of ribbon would you have if you had 9 inches of ribbon from 54 inches?
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.
A piece of wood 15.5 metres long is cut into two pieces One piece is four times as long as the other How long is each piece?
lengths are x and 4x so 5x = 15.5 making x = 3.1m and the longer piece 4 x 3.1 = 12.4m
When two pieces of rope are placed end to end their combined length is 130 feet. When the two are place side by side one is 26 feet longer then the other. What are the lengths of the two pieces?
Here is how to solve this type of problem: Since you have 2 pieces that add up to 130 figure out what they would be if they were of equal length. If one piece is 26 feet longer than the other that means one piece is half of 26 longer than half of 130, the other is shorter by the same amount, so... 130/2=65 26/2=13 65+13=78 65-13=52 Lets see if that adds up. 78+52=130, so that's good. 78-52=26 so that is good as well. One piece is 78 feet long, the other is 52.

How many pieces of ribbon would you have if you had 9 inches of ribbon from 54 inches?
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.
If two wires have the same thickness but different lengths?
Then one is longer than the other.
A stick 1 meter long is broken into 2 pieces if one piece is 9cm longer than the other how long are the pieces?
1 metre = 100 centimetres 54.5cm and 45.5cm (54.5 - 45.5 = 9cm) A revised answer: Let's call the unknown lengths (x+9) and x (x+9)+x = 100 x+x = 100-9 2x = 91 x = 45.5 So the lengths are indeed 54.5cm and 45.5cm

A 16â-foot piece of string is cut into two pieces so that the longer piece is 1 foot longer than twice the shorter piece. Find the lengths of both pieces?
Total length = 16ft Let the longer piece = x ft Let the other piece = (16-x)ft equation, x - 2(16-x) = 1 x - 32 + 2x = 1 3x = 33 x = 11ft 16-x = 5ft Longer piece = 11ft shorter piece = 5ft
A piece of wood 15.5 metres long is cut into two pieces One piece is four times as long as the other How long is each piece?
lengths are x and 4x so 5x = 15.5 making x = 3.1m and the longer piece 4 x 3.1 = 12.4m
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.
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.
How long should one ribbon on a pointe shoes?
This depends purely on how large one's ankles are. Tie your ribbons around your ankle, ignoring any excess ribbon for the time being. If you do not know how to tie your ribbons, look it up at www.youtube.com. Once the ribbons are tied, cut them off at about two inches after the knot. Once taken off the foot, on ribbon should be longer than the other. Keep in mind that when you place the shoe on your foot with the ribbons untied, the longer ribbon should be on the inside.
