Given:

Carol has 88cm of string and cuts it in the ratio 5 : 6.

To find:

How much longer is the longest piece compared to the shortest piece.

Solution:

Let the lengths of two pieces of string are 5x and 6x. Then,

5x+6x=88

11x=88

x=\dfrac{88}{11}

x=8

Now, the lengths of pieces are:

5x=5(8)

5x=40

And,

6x=6(8)

6x=48

The difference between the longer piece and shorter piece is:

48-40=8

Therefore, the longer piece is 8 m longer than the shorter piece.

Find 50% of 36:<br> Find 25% of 36:<br> Find 75% of 36:
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

18, 9, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

36 ÷ 2 = 18. Dividing by 2 is the same as multiplying by 50%.

36 ÷ 4 = 9. Dividing by 4 is the same as multiplying by 25%.

Since 25% • 3 = 75%, you can do 9 (from previous) • 3 to get 27.
