Answer:

The length of the shorter piece is 5\textrm{ ft}.

The length of the longer piece is 11\textrm{ ft}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The five-step method is GUESS method.

Given:

Length of steel beam, L=16\textrm{ ft}

Length of longer piece is 1 foot longer than twice the shorter one.

Unknown:

Length of longer and shorter pieces of beam.

Let the length of shorter piece be x feet.

Therefore, the length of longer beam is equal to 1+2x

Evaluate:

Sum of lengths of longer and shorter pieces of beam is equal to the total length of beam. So,

x+1+2x=16\\3x+1=16\\3x=16-1\\3x=15\\x=\frac{15}{3}=5

Substitute and Solve:

Now, we have, x=5.

Substitute 5 for x for the lengths of shorter and longer pieces and solve for each. This gives,

Length of shorter piece = x=5\textrm{ ft}

Length of longer piece = 1+2x=1+2(5)=1+10=11\textrm{ ft}

Therefore, the lengths of shorter and longer pieces are 5\textrm{ ft} and 11\textrm{ ft} respectively.

Which choice correctly shows rounding to the hundredths place?
TEA [102]
<span>The hundredth place is the one with two places to the right of the decimal place. For example in the number 123.4579, five is in the hundredths place. Therefore, the answer 3.88 + 4.82 + 1.73 correctly shows rounding to the hundredths place. All of the numbers being added together only have two numbers after the decimal. By laws of math, when they are all added together, there will only be two number after the decimal.</span>
