1. Let
Shortest piece = x
Longest piece = y
Third piece = z
2.
Shortest piece = x
Longest piece = 40 + x
Third piece = (40 + x)/2 OR 20 + 0.5x
3. Add all the expressions since you know that the total of all the pieces is 120 inches
40 + x + 20 + 0.5x + x = 120.
4. Add the whole numbers first, then add the variables.
40+20=60
x+0.5=2.5x
60+2.5x=120
5. To get rid of the 60, do the opposite of addition which is subtraction and subtract 60 from both sides.
2.5x=120-60
2.5x=60
6. Do the same but rather than addition, do the opposite of multiplying which is dividing, on both sides.
x=60/2.5
x=24
7.
Shortest piece = 64-40=24 inches
Longest piece = 24+40=64
Third piece = 64/2=32
15.60 percent and you round it up to the nearest percentage. You get 16 percent.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 ÷ 1/6 =
2/3 x 6/1 =
12/3 = 4
Also you can do:
2/3 = 4/6
there are 4- 1/6 in 4/6
