Question

. A 110-foot long piece of rope is cut into two pieces so that one piece is two ninths
as long as the other piece. Find the length of each piece

Answer 1

20,90

Answer 2

So let the length of piece one be x.
Then the length of piece two is (2/9)x
We know the two pieces added must equal the original 110 feet.
x+(2/9)x=110
(11/9)x=110
x=90

Answer 3

x+(2/9)x=110
11x/9=110
x=90
theother piece=(2/9)*90=20
