A plumber has a very long piece of pipe that is used to run city water parallel to a major roadway. The pipe is cut into two sections. One section of pipe is 12 ft. shorter than the other. If 3/4 of the length of the shorter pipe is 120 ft. How long is the longer piece of the pipe?
Well first of all the shorter pipe would be 160ft bc 120/3 is 40 and 40*4 is 160 so the shorter piece is 160ft and 160+12 is 172 so the longer piece of pipe would be 172ft
I’m pretty sure I’m correct, lemme know if I’m not Hope this helps :)
