Answer:

The original piece of wood is 108 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given ratio, the shortest is of the ratio 5 and the longest is of the ratio 7

Let the original piece of wood be x

so the sum of the ratios will be;

5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 24

the shortest length would be 5/24 * x

= 5x/24

the longest will be 7/24 * x = 7x/24

From the question;

7x/24 -5x/24 = 9

(7x-5x) = 24(9)

2x = 24(9)

x = (24 * 9)/2

x = 108 cm
