Question

a fence is 702 m long. it is cut into three parts. two parts are the same length and the third is 27 m longer than either of the other two. find the length of each part

Answer 1

225, 225 and 252 meters

Explanation:

Let length of the 2 equal parts be each x m, then:-

2x + x + 27 = 702

3x = 702 - 27 = 675

x = 675/3

x = 225

So lengths of each parts are 225, 225, 252
