A 73 meters long stick is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 16 meters longer than twice the length of the shorter piece. How long is each piece?

The longer piece: 54m

The shorter piece: 19m

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation from what is said.

One of the pieces is 'x'

The other piece is 2x+16

x + (2x + 16) = 73m

solve for x

x = 19

plug it in

2*19 + 16

you get 54

so 54 is the longer piece

and 19 is the shorter piece (x was the shorter piece)

Hope this helped :)

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
