Answer:
They are 8, 10 and 12 cm long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm. Then:
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30
3x + 6 = 30
3x = 24
x = 8.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...
x , x + 2, x + 4
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30
3x + 6 = 30
3x = 30 - 6
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12
check...
8 + 10 + 12 = 30
18 + 12 = 30
30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out
the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm
