Since one piece is four time the length <em>x, </em>we can represent that as 4x.

Thus making the equation:

4x+x=275

5x=275

x=55

4(55)=220

220+55=275

So, the length of the longer piece is 220 inches, and the length of the shorter piece is 55 inches.

Answer:

160 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = speed × time

Speed 1 = 40miles/hr , speed 2 = 50 miles/hr

Time 1 = 3 hrs, time 2 = 4 hrs

Distance 1 = speed 1 × time 1

= 40× 3 = 120 miles

Distance 2 = speed 2 × time 2

= 50 × 4 = 200 miles

Average distance = (distance 1+distance 2 ) ÷ 2

Distance = (200+120) ÷ 2 = 320 ÷2

= 160 miles
