Answer: 28 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

x - the length of the shorter piece

2x - the length of the longer piece

Together they are 42 cm long.

Compose te equation:

2x + x = 42

3x = 42

x = 14 cm

The shorter piece is 14 cm, the longer piece is twice longer, 2x, or 2( 14 ).

Two times longer than 14 is 28. The longer piece is 28 cm.

Answer:

3.5 more times sugar in B

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to see that the fact that Beverage B is 0.21 sugar can be translated to percentages, just by multiplying and dividing by 100 to get it easier to see:

0.21 * 100 /100 =  21/100 = 21% percent

This means that for every 100 units, 21 are sugar.

Now we can compare percentages directly, as both have the same volume because are sold in identical cans. We need to get how many times is 21 greater than 6. The only thing we need to do is the ratio between them:

21/6= 3.5

This implies that 21 is 3.5 greater than 6, you can verify it by multiplying 6 by 3.5 and getting 21.

So, B has 3.5 times more sugar than A.
