Answer:34.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4 5
Step-by-step explanation:
4 5 = 45
The sample was 10 numbers.
4 of the numbers are less than 301.
So 4 out of 10 would be defective.
4/10 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%
He would expect 40% to be defective.

Define x:
-------------------------------------------
Let the shorter piece be x.
Shorter piece = x
Longer piece = 6x
-------------------------------------------
Construct equation:
-------------------------------------------
x +6x =35
7x = 35
x =5
-------------------------------------------
Find the length:
-------------------------------------------
Shorter length = x = 5 feet
Larger length = 6x = 6(5) = 30 feet
-------------------------------------------
Answer: The shorter piece is 5 feet.
