Question

A 6.5 M long rope is cut into two pieces. one piece is twice as long as other find the length of the longer pieces

Answer 1

Hi ,

Total length of the rope = 6.5 m

Let the first piece length = x m

length of the second piece = 2x m

x + 2x = 6.5 m

3x = 6.5

x = 6.5/3 m

Now ,

length of the longer piece = 2x

= 2 × ( 6.5/3 )

= ( 13/3 ) m

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Let,
Length of

• Shortest peice = x
• largest peice = 2x

================

ATQ,

x + 2x = 6.25

3x = 6.25

x = 625/300


Now,

Length of shortest peice =x=(6.25)/3=2.084 m

Length of other peice = 2x = 4.17 m




I hope this will help you
