To start this problem, we know that one of the three pieces that the string is cut into is 15 meters longer than the others. Subtract 15 from 42 to get 27.
Then, from there, you can cut that number (<em>divide</em>) by three to get the length of the two shorter strings. Simply add the 15 meters you didn't use yet to one of the pieces to find the longer string, and you have your lengths.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
if it takes 4 people for 2 days
4+4= 8
so it would only take 8 people for 1 day
Hello There!
Great Question!
To calculate the area of a rectangular prism, you would multiply the length, the width, and the depth. As we want to measure this in cubic feet, we should convert all of the measurements to feet to begin with.
How wide is the garden? (either 7 or 8 feet)
How long is the garden? (Whichever of 7 or 8 wasn’t used)
How deep is this garden? 6 inches.
Well, that’s not feet, right?
How many inches are in a foot? 12.
Divide 6 by 12, what is the answer? .5.
Any irrational number produces an irrational number when added to 3/4.
This is because 3/4 is rational (it can be represented as a ratio of two integers). You can get an irrational number only when you add rational to irrational (because rational to rational produces a rational sum).
