A piece of rope is 7m 20cm long. It is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is shorter than the other by 1m 80cm. Find the length of the shorter piece.

$\huge\purple{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}$

$\bf\underline{Given:}$

• A 10 meters long stick
• Cut into 2 pieces

$\bf\underline{Solution:}$

Let shorter piece be x.

Longer piece = $x + 2m$

x + x + 2m = 10 m

=> $2x + 2 m$ = 10

=> $2x$ = 10-2

=> $2x$ = 8

=> $x = \frac{8}{2}$

=> $x = 4 m$

$x = 4 m$ Ans.

$x + 2 m= 4 + 8$

=> $8 m$ Ans.
