Answer: 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.
If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.
The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.
42 = x + 2x + 3x
42 = 6x
42 = 6x
7 = x
The first piece is 7 inches long.

Answer:
3 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to subtract the two numbers to find the difference in speeds
4/5 - 3/4
We need to get a common denominator of 20
4/5 *4/4 - 3/4 *5/5
16/20 - 15/20
1/20
The car going 4/5 miles per minute is going 1/20 miles per minute faster than the car going 3/4 miles per minute.
The question asks for miles per hour, not miles per minute. We know that there are 60 minutes per hour.
1/20 miles per minute * 60 minutes / hour
60/20 miles/hour
3 miles/ hour
The car going 4/5 miles per minute is going 3 miles per hour faster than the car going 3/4 miles per minute.
