-------------------------------------------
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.

Schach [20]

Answer:

You did the same on both exams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare both the scores, we need to compute the z scores of both the exams and then compare the values. The formula for z-score is:

<u>Z = (X - μ)/σ</u>

Where X = score obtained

           μ = mean score

           σ = standard deviation

For Exam 1:

Z = (95 - 79)/8

  = 16/8

<u>Z = 2</u>

For Exam 2:

Z = (90 - 60)/15

  = 30/15

<u>Z = 2</u>

<u>The z-scores for both the tests are same hence the third option is correct i.e. </u><u>you did the same on both exams.</u>
