Question

A pipe is split into four pieces with each piece twice as long as the previous one. The longest piece is 2 meters. How long is the the rope.

Answer 1

3544

Explanation:

Answer 2

3.75 meters

Explanation:

We need to work backwards.

We know that each length is half of the one prior (if we work from the longest to shortest)

So if the longest is 2 meters

The next would be 1 meter

The next would be .5

the last would be .25

The rope was 3.75 meters
