X + y = 76
x - y = 20
------------add
2x = 96
x = 96/2
x = 48
x + y = 76
48 + y = 76
y = 76 - 48
y = 28
ur numbers are : 48 and 28
Answer: C. She is dividing the entire length into shorter lengths.
The rest of the question would be "How many pieces will she get?"
Step-by-step explanation:
A would be a subtraction problem UNLESS it goes on to ask "how many 1/3 yard pieces can she cut?"

B is just backwards and makes no sense with the expression given.
Per means one. So this asks for in one minute, and in one inch.
20 minutes = 6 inches.
So dividing by 20 gets you one minute.
1 minute = 6/20 inches
1 minute = 3/10 inches
20 minutes = 6 inches.
So dividing by 6 gets you one inch.
20/6 minutes = 1 inch
10/3 minutes = 1 inch
