If a 25 ft rope is cut into two sections with one section 4 times as long as the other section, how long is the shorter piece?

1 answer:

7 0

X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope

x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5

…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long

Answer: −(b+4)(2b−3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Factor out the negative sign.

−(2b^2+5b−12)

2. Split the second term in 2b^2+5b−12 into two terms.

−(2b^2+8b−3b−12)

3.Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

−(2b(b+4)−3(b+4))

4. Factor out the common term b+4b+4b+4.

−(b+4)(2b−3)

Subtract t the first 2 choices from the total time:

10 - 3.2 - 3.5 = 3.3

The 3rd selection needs to be 3.3 minutes long
