Answer:
12 pieces each:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-- first string
--- second string
Required
Determine the number of equal pieces
To do this, we first calculate the HCF of the length of both pieces
The HCF is:
<em>Hence, he can cut both strings to 12 pieces each</em>
<em></em>
<em>Recall that </em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 3 inches each (i.e. 36/12)</em>
<em>The first string can then be cut in to 4 inches each (i.e. 48/12)</em>
A:b=c:d
7.2:x=1:25. If u see two ratios equal each other, the product of a and d is equal to the product of b and c. This means that (7.2 times 25) is equal to x. This equals 180=x. The actual distance of the trail of 180 km. Hope this helps!
