109.222222222 is the answer if you divide it up
Answer:
shorter piece is 28.8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need the slope and the y int which can be found by putting ur equation in y = mx + b form, where m is ur slope and b is ur y int.
8x + 2y = 24
2y = -8x + 24
y = -4x + 12.....so the slope is -4, and the y int is 12 or (0,12)
to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x....in either the original equation or the slope intercept equation
8x + 2y = 24
8x + 2(0) = 24
8x = 24
x = 24/8
x = 3.....so the x int is 3 or (3,0)
now plot ur intercepts (3,0) and (0,12)......now start at ur y int (0,12)...and since ur slope is -4, u come down 4 spaces, then to the right 1 space, then down 4, and to the right 1...keep doing this and u should cross the x axis at (3,0)

There's an infinite number of equivalent ratios for 27:15, these are the ones that just came to my mind:
27:15 = 54:30 (because 27 * 2 = 54 and 15 * 2 = 30)
27:15 = 9:5 (because 27 / 3 = 9 and 15 / 3 = 5)
27:15 = 135:75 (because 27 * 5 = 135 and 15 * 5 = 75)
