Question

A 10 feet long ribbon is cut into two pieces. If one piece is 2 feet longer than the other, then the lengths of the pieces are​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the smaller peice of the ribbon be x

so the longer piece of the ribbon is x+2

now , x + ( x+2) = 10

2x + 2 = 10

x = 4

so the smaller piece of thr ribbon is 4 feet long and the longer piece of the ribbon is 6 feet long.

Answer 2

Ratio ⇒3:2:7

Let x be the multiple.

Then,

Ratio ⇒3x,2x,7x

Total length =24m

∴3x+2x+7x=24

12x=24

∴x=2

The length of each piece

=3x=3×2=6m

=2x=2×2=4m

=7x=7×2=14m

why u wasting point dear?
