Answer:

The longer piece is 15 feet long and the shorter piece is 3 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the length of the longer piece and y is the length of the shorter piece:

x + y = 18

x = 5y

Solve by substitution by substituting 5y as x into the first equation:

x + y = 18

5y + y = 18

Solve for y:

6y = 18

y = 3

So, the shorter piece is 3 feet long. Since the longer piece is 5 times longer, find its length by multiplying this by 5:

3(5)

= 15

So, the longer piece is 15 feet long.

The longer piece is 15 feet long and the shorter piece is 3 feet long.

Lin runs 5 laps around a track in 8 minutes.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

To run one lap Lin takes 1.6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer you would do 8 divided by 5. Always remember when dividing time goes first unless the instructions / directions / your teacher says differently. So, when you do 8 divided by 5 the answer you get is 1.6, and there is your answer. Also to check your answer you can do 1.6 times 5, and you get 8, so you know that 1.6 is the correct answer.
