Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

vovikov84 [41]
THE ANSWER IS 42,000.

TO GET THIS WE KNOW THAT 1 KILOMETERS IS 10,000. 

SO YOU TAKE 4.2 AND MULTIPLY IT BY 10,000. THAT EQUALS 42,000.
