12 feet long

 1st piece = x

2nd piece = 2x-3

3x-3 =12

3x=15

x = 5

 1st piece = 5 feet

 2nd piece = 2*5=10-3=7 feet

Suppose a is jointly proportional to b and c. if a=4 when b=8 and c = 9, then what is a when b=2 and c=18
asambeis [7]

From the given information, a exists jointly proportional to b and c.

then $$a \propto b c$

Therefore, the value of a exists 2.

<h3>What is the value of a?</h3>

Given, a exists jointly proportional to b and c.

$$a \propto b c$

Taking K as the constant of proportionality.

a = K b c

For b = 8 and c = 9, the value of a = 4

4 = K(8)(9)

4 = 72 K

Dividing the equation by 72, we get

$K=\frac{1}{18}

Using the value of K in the equation:

$a=\frac{b c}{18}

Substitute the values of b = 2 and c = 18, in the above equation

$a=\frac{2 \times 18}{18} \\

a = 2

Therefore, the value of a exists 2.
