Question

a water pipe is cut into two pieces the longer piece is 70% of the length of the pipe why how much percent is the longer piece longer and the shorter piece

Answer 1

Its very simple i e (70-30)/30×100%=400/3%

Answer 2

Solutions :-

Given :

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.

Hence,

133.33 % is the longer piece longer than the shorter piece.
