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

Multiply 3/4 x 16/19
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

12/19 or 0.6315

Step-by-step explanation:

You see that the denominator of 3/4 is 4 and the numerator of 16/19 is 16 both 4 and 16 are common factors, so you can reduce this to 3x4/19 then multiply 3/1 x 4/19 to give you 12/ 19 because 3x4 is 12 and 1x19 is 19.
