Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40                Combine

Solution

10x = 40                             Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10        

x = 4

Answer

The middle piece 4x  = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

1246 teams

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told there are 7women & 6men.

If 5 people are selected and there must be more women than men in the team.

For 4 women;

7C4 × 6C3 = 700

For 5 women;

7C5 × 6C0 = 21

Thus;

Total = 525 + 700 + 21 = 1246 teams
