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.

How many pieces of ribbon would you have if you had 9 inches of ribbon from 54 inches?

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.

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 16-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

Why pencils are designed to have longer lengths than pens?
Pencils are designed with longer lengths to accommodate the eraser at the end and to provide a comfortable grip for writing or drawing. Pens, on the other hand, have a shorter length because they have a built-in ink cartridge that needs to fit within the pen casing.
