Question

A 70-inch pipe is cut into two pieces, One piece is four times the length of the other. Find the length of

the shorter piece

Answer 1

Answer: 14 inches

Explanation:

If one is 4 times the length of the other, then you'll have to divide by 5 because that's how many times there are in total. So 70/5 would be 14 which is the length of the smaller one. 70-14= 56 which is the length of the normal one.
