Answer: the small pipe is 15 inches long

Step-by-step explanation: since the larger pipe is 5 times larger than the small pipe, the 90 inch pipe would have too be divided by 6 to make sure the 5 times of the large pipe and the 1 small pipe. so, you would do 90/6=15. so the small pipe is 15 inches long. the large pipe is 75 inches long.
