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 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.


A 24 foot long board is cut into two pieces the long piece is three times the length of the short piece find the lengths of the 2 pieces?

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.


What is the answer to this 32 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is 3 times as long as the first piece and the third piece is 4 times as long as the first piece?

Let 1st piece be length x 2nd piece is 3x 3rd piece is 4x x + 3x + 4x = 32 8x = 32 x = 4 = 1st piece lenght 3x = 12 = 2nd piece 4x = 16 = 3rd piece

If a rope 36 feet long is cut into two pieces in such a way that one piece is twice as long as the other piece how long must the long piece be If a rope 36 feet long is cut into two pieces in such a w?

Let the length of the shorter piece be ( x ) feet. Then the longer piece would be ( 2x ) feet. According to the problem, the total length of the rope is 36 feet, so we can set up the equation: ( x + 2x = 36 ). Solving this gives ( 3x = 36 ), which means ( x = 12 ) feet for the shorter piece, making the longer piece ( 2x = 24 ) feet. Therefore, the long piece must be 24 feet long.


Jack cut a piece of wood that was 8 feet long into two pieces one piece is three times as long as the other how long in the shorter piece of wood?

Let x be the length measure of the shortest piece of wood, and 3x the length measure of the other piece of wood. So we have: x + 3x = 8 4x = 8 divide by 4 to both sides; x = 2 The length measure of the shortest piece of wood is 2.


A 48 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece and the third piece is 5 times as long as the first piece if x represents the legth of the f?

The first piece is 6" the second piece is 12" and the third piece is 30" x+2X+5x=48, 8x=48 x=6 i also know that this is a very complicated some and do not try it whilst not under adult supervision.


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.


If a rope 36 feet long is cut into two pieces in such a way that one piece is twice as long as the other piece how long must the piece be?
