Answer:

8.25 ft & 6.75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know it's split into two pieces, right? So normally that would be 7.5 ft each. But one is 1.5 ft longer than the other. So as a result, I divided that by 2 to add 0.75 ft to piece one and subtract 0.75 ft from piece two's length. So, the longer piece is 8.25 ft, and the shorter one is 6.75 ft.

Answer:

Solution given:

total length=15foot

splits into 2 pieces

let shorter pieces be x.

we have longer pieces =2x-1.5ft

Now

total length=x+2x-1.5ft

15 ft =3x-1.5ft

15+1.5=3x

x=\frac{16.5}{3}=5.5ft

Now

<u>shorter</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>f</u><u>t</u><u>.</u>

<u>longer</u><u> </u><u>length</u><u>:</u><u>2</u><u>*</u><u>5</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>=</u><u>9</u><u>.</u><u>5</u><u>f</u><u>t</u><u>.</u>
