No it's not_______________
Answer:
12 pieces each:


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-- first string
--- second string
Required
Determine the number of equal pieces
To do this, we first calculate the HCF of the length of both pieces 



The HCF is:


<em>Hence, he can cut both strings to 12 pieces each</em>
<em></em>
<em>Recall that </em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 3 inches each (i.e. 36/12)</em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 4 inches each (i.e. 48/12)</em>
All we need to do is plug in the values and check.
15*60 + 10 * 20 ≥ 1100.
Is this statement true?
15 * 60 = 900
20 * 10 = 200
900+200 = 1100
Is the statement 1100≥1100 true?
Yes! So, (60, 20) is a solution because 1100 is greater than or equal to 1100.
