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=4(25-x)

x=100-4x

5x=100

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.
