No estoy segura pero 2.5 (half of the box that is 5cm)
-------------------------------------------
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
-------------------------------------------
