Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of pipe = 100%

Length of longer piece = 70%

Length of shorter piece = 30%

Hence, the longer piece is longer than the shorter piece by 40% (70%-30%) of whole pipe.

Now in respect of the shorter piece = $\frac{40}{30} X 100 percent = \frac{400}{3} percent$
