a carpenter has a wooden dowel that is 96 cm long. she wants to cut it into two pieces so that one piece is 5 times as long as the other. what is the length of the longer piece?

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem (word problem), we are examined on how to express equations from words.

let us initialize some variables

let the length of the first piece (the short piece) be x

and that of the second(the longer piece) be 5x

given that the total length is 96 cm

Also from the problem statement, the total length can be expressed as

5x+x= 96

6x= 96

divide both sides by 6 to solve for x

x= 96/6

x= 16

now the longer side = 5x

        the longer side= 5*6

       the longer side = 30 cm

gmt is 4 hrs ahead of edt so just add four hours to 1: 14: 20 (minutes and seconds stay the same)

gmt is 5: 14: 20

hope this !

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
