x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
Answer:
70km per hour is the rate of change
Yes, It is reasonable. I think this because you are dealing with 60 blocks, and out of every 5 blocks there are 3 red. 5 goes into 60 12 times. 3 multiplied by 12 is 36. 36 is more than 32. So, I think that it is reasonable. If this explanation didn't make sense, then feel free to ask for more. I hope this helped!
