x = the length of one piece

y = the length of the other piece


the total length is 100 cm this means 


x + y = 100


one piece is 16 inches longer than the other


first we need to convert inches to cm: 


1 in = 2.54 cm

16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64


now we can write


x = y + 40.64


by solving the system of equations


x + y = 100

x = y + 40.64


we find


x = 70.32 cm


y = 29.68 cm


the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.

Answer:

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation to find the value for c, we need to declare what c is first.

c = price of fruit

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

Now we multiplied c to 2.45 and 1.65 and added them together, because whatever the value of c is will give us the equivalence of the sum of 4.12 + 0.75.

Now to check if the equation is right, let's solve for c.

2.45c + 1.65c = 4.12 + 0.75

4.1c = 4.87

Now to get the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.1.

\dfrac{4.1c}{4.1}=\dfrac{4.87}{4.1}

c = 1.19

Now let's substitute the value of c in the equation to see if we got it right.

2.45(1.19) + 1.65(1.19) = 4.12 + 0.75

2.92 + 1.96 = 4.87

4.87 = 4.87

Therefore concluding that the value of c is 1.19.
