A16 ft board is to be cut into three pieces, two equal-length ones and the third 3 in. shorter than each of the other two. if the cutting does not result in any length being lost, how long are the pieces?

the first two pieces are each in. long.

  The first two pieces are 5' 5" long; the last piece is 5' 2" long.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the length of one of the longer pieces, then the shorter one (in inches) is x-3. The total length of the three pieces is ...

  x + x + (x-3) = 192

  3x = 195 . . . . . . . . . add 3

  x = 65 . . . . . . . . . . inches

  65 inches = 5 ft 5 inches

The first two pieces are each 5' 5" long; the remaining piece is 5' 2" long.

i dont know

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
