Answer:

The shorter piece is 4 in. long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the shorter piece can be represented using x.

Thus, you can say that the longer piece is 2x (since it is twice as long as the other piece).

Since, the length of both the pieces will, for sure, add up to 1 ft, then we can say:

x + 2x = 1 ft

Which will simplify into:

3x = 1 ft  (Divide both sides by 3)

x = 4 in. (Since 1 ft = 12 in., we can express it in different units unless you want a non-terminating decimal)

x = 4 in. is the length of the shorter piece since we established that x is the length of the shorter piece earlier on.

Students who attend Washington Middle School are either in seventh or eighth grade.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages and Portions

We can find portions of a whole by correctly managing the percentages of each part. We know 25% of all students at Washington middle school were on the honor roll. From that portion, 60% of the students are seventh graders. That means 40% of the 25% are eight graders, i.e. 40*25%=10% were from eight grade.

We have 10% of all students are 124, thus the number of students are 124/10%=1240

There are 1240 students at Washington middle school.  

Let's test the answer. 25% of 1240 students are on the honor roll, which is 310 students. 40% of 310 students are from 8th grade, 40%*310 = 124 as stated in the problem
