Answer:
the two pieces are 9.7 cm and 38.8 cm in length
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' represent the length of the smaller piece, then '4x' represents the length of the longer piece
48.5 = x + 4x
x = 48.5 / 5 = 9.7
9.7 * 4. = 38.8
Answer:
We know that the shorter piece = x and the longer piece is 4x
longer piece = 4x
---------------------------
x + 4x = 48.5
5x = 48.5
x = 48.5/5
x = 9.7 cm
9.7 cm - Is the shortest piece length.
The longer piece = 4x = 4 x 9.7 = 38.8 cm
----------------------------------
