Question

A 190 inch pipe is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is 4 times the length of the other. Find the length of the other piece

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the other piece is 38 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 190 inch pipe is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is 4 times the length of the other.

Now, to find the length of the other piece.

Let the length of the other piece be $x$.

And the length of one piece be $4x$.

The total length of the pipe = $190 inch$

According to question:

$4x+x=190$

⇒$5x=190$

Dividing both sides by 5 we get:

⇒$x=38$

Therefore, the length of the other piece is 38 inch.
