Answer:
The shorter piece is 39 inches long.
Step-by-step explanation:
ratio = 3 : 1
3+1=4
156/4 = 39
just to check:
39 x 3 = 117 (the lenght of the longer piece)
117 + 39 =156

brainliest plx
x
It means break them down so u get just one factor
4x - 12 = 16) 4x -12 + 12 = 16 + 12) 4x = 28) 4x/4 =28/4) x = 7
Nancy's rate=27 mph
Greg's rate=45 mph
t=Greg's time
t+2=Nancy's time
Since they both traveled same distance then:
27(t+2)=45t
27t+54=45t
18t=54
t=3 hours
Greg will pass Nancy after 3 hours
