Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:
2 ft and 6 in = 30 in
30 x 5/10 = 15
The longest piece is 15 in.
30 x 2/10 = 6
Shortest piece is 6 in. Therefore the longest piece is longer by 9 in.
30 x 1/6 = 5
30 x 2/6 = 10
30 x 3/6 = 15
The length of each piece would be 5 in, 10 in, and 15 in.
If there is any confusion please leave a comment below.
