Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

I used a calculator so you’ll need someone else to explain my apologies. I’m tried but I wanted to try and help by giving you the answer
The inequality that represents the possible combinations of candy bars and lollipops that he can buy is given by:

<h3>What is the inequality that models this situation?</h3>
The total price can be no more than $28, hence:

Each candy bar costs $0.45 and each lollipop costs $0.25. x is the number of candy bars and y of lollipops. Hence, the total price is given by:
T = 0.45x + 0.25y.
Hence, the inequality that models the situation is:
