Question

A 108-inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is five times the length of the other. Find the lengths of the two pieces.

The short piece is
inches long

Answer 1

18 and 90

Explanation:

If we express in units,

Long piece has 5 units

Short piece has 1 unit

total 6 units

108/6 = 18 inch

which is the length of 1 unit

short = 18 * 1

long = 18 *5
