You know that a rope is no more than 150 feet long. You need to cut the rope into 3 pieces. The second piece is to be twice as long as the 1s piece, and the third piece must be 30 feet long.
What is the maximum length of the 2nd piece?

80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

hey there,

< We know that the rope is 3 pieces long. To make this into an equation, let's just write x + y + z = 150.

Assuming "y" is our second piece, we can tell y = 2x, because it is two times the size of the first piece, which is "x". We also know "z" (our third piece): z = 30.

We can try inputting all the things we know now. x + (2x) + 30 = 150. From here, we can find that x = 40. Since y is our second piece, y = 2x, so 2 x (40) = 80. The second piece would be 80 feet long. >

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.

i think the answer is d im not sure

i think the answer would be c
