Answer:28inches & 84inches
First, lets write an equation that fits the data given. The string is 112 inches long. When the two pieces are cut, the first piece will be three times as long as the second piece. If we use the variable, x, to represent the second piece, we can create the following equation...
112=3x+x
Now lets solve for x.
112=4x
divide both sides by 4
28 inches=x
Now we know that the second piece is 28inches long. Since the first piece is three times as long, simply multiply 28*3 and we'll know the length of the first piece.
28*3=84 inches
28+84=112
62 x 32/100 is the amount it has decreased
62 x 32/100 = 19.84
that is the amount it is decreased not the answer so just take 62 - 19.84 and theirs your answer. Wish you good luck and message me if you want to learn how to do problems and not cheat your way out of it
