27. A 35 foot long tube is cut into two pieces with ratio 4:5 Find the length of the shorter piece.
2 answers:
The ratio 4:5> 4x+ 5x=35> 9x=35> x=3.8 and then you do (3.8)3.8=14.7. Therefore there is not a correct answer.
Answer:
x= 16 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' and 'y' are the lengths of the two pieces then:
1.) x + y = 36
2.) x : y = 4 : 5 cross multiply
3.) 5x = 4y
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 36
5x = 4y
we find
x = 16 ft
y = 20 ft
