The length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.
<h3>How to find the original length of the rope using ratio?</h3>
He cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2.
The shorter piece is 70 cm long.
The length of the original rope can be calculated as follows:
The ratio of the length of the rope is as follows;
5 : 2
let
x = length of the original rope
Therefore,
length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70
length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70
length of shorter piece = 140 / 7
length of shorter piece = 20 cm
Therefore, the length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

Answer:
Example any whole number over one would be an improper fraction, so 2=2/1, something like 5/3=1 2/3 would be a mixed number, subtract the numerator by the denominator, how ever many times you can subtract is the whole number and the amount remaining is the numerator, keep the same denominator,,, hope that makes sense
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 of an hour = 45 minutes
45 * 3 = 135 minutes
135 + 45 = 180 minutes
He spends 180 minutes or 3 hours
Answer:
6.21 times more
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming 2.04 x 10^11 was only a typo
you would need to first equal the powers of 10
so 20.4 x 10^10 and 3.28 x 10^10
now that they have the same powers
if it's asking for how many times i would approximate it to 6.21 times more
