Question

A water pipe is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 70% of the length of the pipe. By how much percent is the longer piece longer than the shorter piece ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A water pipe is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 70% of the length of the pipe.

Let the total length of water pipe be 100 m

Therefore,

Length of longer piece = 70% of 100 m

= 70 m

Shorter piece = (100 - 70) m = 30 m

The longer piece longer than the shorter piece (70-30) m = 40 m =

Find percent is the longer piece longer than the shorter piece :

= ( 40 × 100)/30 %

= 4000/30 %

= 133.33 % approx.
