Answer:
The answer to your question is: first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
total length = 24 inches
first piece = x in
second piece = 2x
third piece = 3x
Equation
x + 2x + 3x = 24
6x = 24
x = 24/6
x = 4 length of the first piece
second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches
third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches

Question 1 Answer:
Aunt 1 and Grandma 1 would fill gift bags.
Mom and Aunt 2 would make centerpieces.
You and Grandma 2 would blow up balloons.
Since you are pairing up to complete the tasks, these pairs each have the shortest times in their respective categories and therefore are the most logical pairing to complete tasks.
Question 2 Answer:
We use algebra and our previous pairings to determine the length of each task.
<u>Gifts Bags --> 6/7 hours</u>
x = time together
= rate of completion
Aunt 1 =
Grandma 1 =

<u>Centerpieces --> 7/4 hours</u>
x = time together
= rate of completion
Mom =
Aunt 2 = 



<u>Balloons --> 15/16 hours</u>
x = time together
= rate of completion
You =
Grandma 2 = 



Shortest amount of time to complete all tasks is:
≈ 3.54 hours
Converting hours to hours and minutes --> 3 hours 32 minutes
Therefore they must arrive by 5:28pm to complete the tasks in time to leave at 9:00pm.
Answer:
Mick will spend $191.55
Step-by-step explanation
$11.80 times 12 is 141.6- Pizza
$1.59 times 15 is 23.85- Chips
$1.74 times 15 is 26.1- soda
141.6+23.85+26.1=191.55
