Question

A 90 ​-inch board is cut into two pieces. One piece is two times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.

Answer 1

30 inches

Explanation:

We know that the total length of the board is 90 inches and we know that the shorter piece is two times smaller than the other so we have two pieces divided into three sections 90 divided by three is 30 and since we realize that 30x2=60 and 60+30=90 it means the longer board is 60 inches and smaller one is 30 I hope this helps.
