Question

A piece of string is 1650 cm long.

Answer 1

Answer: The smaller piece is 750m long.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller piece be x

so

150m + x + x = 1650

150 + 2x = 1650

or, 2x = 1500

so, x = 750 m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a piece of string= 1650cm

First piece (x)= 150 + second piece(y)

x=150+y

Total length

x+y=1650

150+2y=1650

2y=1500

y=750cm

Smaller piece length is 750cm
