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

Jing spent 1/3 of her money on a pack of pens, 1/2 of her money on a pack of markers, and 1/8 of her money on a pack of pencils.
Reika [66]

As per the problem

Jing spent \frac{1}{3} of her money on a pack of pens.

\frac{1}{2} of her money on a pack of markers.

and \frac{1}{8} of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent =\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent =\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\

\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\  \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}

there are 4 sections of seats I the playhouse theatre. each section has 7 groups of seats.each group has 25 seats. how many seat
Nady [450]
To find the number of seats, let's do it using multiplication!

First, to see how many seats are in one big section of the theatre, multiply 7 groups of seats by 25 seats:

7 x 25 = 175

Now, knowing this, multiply 175 by 4 to get the total number of seats in the theater!

175 x 4 = 700

Therefore, there are 700 seats in the theatre.

Hope this helps!
