40 cm.

let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.

where x is a positive length in cm.

why 3x,4x and 5x ?

so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.

total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm

so x=96/12 = 8cm

therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm

A.) 10x + 7.5 (0) =420
10x = 420
420 / 10 = 42

x = 42 > ( 42,0 )

10(0) + 7.5y = 420
7.5y = 420
420 / 7.25 = 56

y = 56 > ( 0,56 )

(42,0) (0,56)

B.) The x intercept means that there was 42 ,minutes spent biking. The y intercept means that there was 56 minutes spent in line skating.

C.) (21 ,28) - (14,37) - (28,18)
