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

A mountain climber ascends 800 feet per hour from his original position. After 6 hours, his final position is 11,600 feet above
coldgirl [10]
<span>To find the beginning position, we need to know how many feet the climber has ascended in the 6-hour time frame. At the rate of 800 feet per hour, this would total to 4,800 feet in 6 hours (800 * 6). Subtracting this amount from the final position would give the elevation at the beginning of the ascent: (11600 - 4800) = 6,800 feet above sea level to begin.</span>
