Answer:

Length of the shorter pipe is 0.55 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of one longer pipe = x meters and the length of shorter pipe = y meters

Now we will form the equations to get the length of shorter pipe or value of y.

x = 7y -----(1)

x - 2.2 = 3y ----(2)

Now we put the value of x from equation 1 to 2.

7y - 2.2 = 3y

7y - 3y = 2.2

4y = 2.2

y = 2.2/4 = 0.55 meters

Therefore the length of the shorter pipe is 0.55 meters.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information :

Number of oranges Ramona needs to harvest in other to cover the cost of running the orange Grove = 2616

Average number of oranges each tree bears = 62

Oranges needed for charity donation = 360

Number of orange trees needed in the Grove :

Total number of oranges needed :

(Charity + running the Grove)

(360 + 2616) = 2976 oranges

Number of trees needed = total number of oranges needed / average number of oranges beared per tree

Number of trees needed = 2976 / 62

= 48 trees

Number of trees needed ≥ 48
