Question

A ​-128inch is cut into two pieces. One piece is 3times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.

Answer 1

Since it is being cut into 2 pieces and the one part is 3 times longer you would…

128/4=32
32*3=96

So the shorter piece is 32 inches and the longer piece would be 96 inches. :)


Hope this helps!! Have a great day!!
