Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
= 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
= 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
= 80 + 20
= 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
= 80 cm - 20
= 60cm
Hope this helps :))

2 3/8 - 1/4 = 2 1/8 x 1/8 = 17/64.
To do this, you first need to do the problem in the (). You have to turn 1/4 with a denominator of eight, so the fraction becomes 2/8. 2 3/8 - 2/8 = 2 1/8. Now we have to turn 2 1/8 into an improper fraction by doing whole number x denominator + numerator. 17/8 x 1/8 = 17/64.
Dr /dt = 7
A = pi r^2
dA / dr = 2pir
dA/dt = dA/dr * dr/dt = 2pir * 7 = 14pir
when r = 12 rate of change of the area = 14*pi*12 = 168pi
= 527.79 cm^2 / minute to nearest hundredth
