Question

A pipe x is 30 meters and 45% longer than another pipe y. find the length of the pipe y?

Answer 1

➡HERE IS YOUR ANSWER⬇

Two pipes (X & Y) are of length x m and y m respectively.

Given that X is 45% longer than Y.

So,

$x = y + y. \frac{45}{100} \\ \\ or \: \: x = y + y. \frac{9}{20} \\ \\ or \: \: x = \frac{29}{20} y \\ \\ given \: \: that \: \: x = 30 \: m \\ \\ so \: \: 30 = \frac{29}{20} y \\ \\ or \: \: y = \frac{600}{29} \\ \\ hence \: \: y = 20.69 \: m \: \: (approx.)$
