An electrician cuts a 136 foot long piece of cable. one piece is 16 feet less than 3 times the length of the other piece. find the length of each piece

98 ft  and   38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the initial length of the piece is  136 feet

Then the piece is cut into two pieces.

Let's call x the length of the first piece  of cable and call z the length of the second piece of cable.

So we know that

and

Now we substitute the second equation in the first one and solve for the variable z

Now we find the length x

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
