Solving a linear equation, we will see that after 9 days he cuts the last section.
<h3>
how many days will he cut the last section?</h3>
We know that the initial length of the piece of cloth is 20m, and the taylor each day cuts a piece of 2 meters of it.
So, the length as a function on the number of days, is:
L(x) = 20m - 2m*x
Here we just need to solve:
L(x) = 2m
Because the last cut is when the long piece measures 4 meters (in that case he does one cut and has the two final pieces of 2 meters).
Solving that, we get:
20m - 2m*x = 2m
20m - 2m = 2m*x
18m/2m = x = 9
After 9 days he cuts the last section.

Let's set up the problem. First, we know Texas is 270,000 square miles, and this is 41% the size of Alaska.
So 270,000=41%(size of Alaska), or 270,000=.41(x). Now solve for x to find the size of Alaska.
