Answer: Option 'E' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

If the length of one piece of rope is 2.8 meters shorter than the length of the other.

Let the length of first piece be 'x'.

Let the length of second piece be 'x-2.8'

Total length of rope = 20.6

So, According to question, it becomes,

x+x-2.8=20.6\\\\2x=20.6+2.8\\\\2x=23.4\\\\x=\dfrac{23.4}{2}\\\\x=11.7

So, the greatest number of the length of part of rope is 11.7 m.

Hence, Option 'E' is correct.

What is n-9 divided by 10=-2
DerKrebs [107]

The value of n is 11.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

The given expression is (n-9) ÷ 10 = -2

<u>To find the value of n</u> :

  • From the expression, it is determined that (n-9) is the numerator and 10 is the denominator.
  • Cross multiply the denominator in the left side of the expression to the another side.

The expression becomes (n-9) = (10\times -2).

⇒ n-9 = -20

Keep the n term on one side and the constants on other side.

⇒ n = -20+9

⇒ n = -11

Therefore, the value of n is 11.
