if a 25 ft rope is cut into two sections with one section four times as long as the other section, how long is the shorter piece
2 answers:
Total length of rope = 25 feet
Let us say one part of the rope is x, then the other part will be 25-x.
We are given that one section of the rope is four times as long as the other.
So let us make an equation using this information,
x=20
So one part is 20 feet and the second part is 25-20= 5 feet.
Answer: The shorter part of the rope is 5 feet long.

now, to get how much is the area of the tiled section, we simply get the area of the whole pool, 53x26, which includes the tiles, and then subtract the area without the tile, the rectangle in the middle, and what's leftover, is the area of the tiled area.
