Question

A piece of string is 1650 cm long.

It is cut into two unequal pieces.
One piece is 150 cm longer than the other.
How long is the smaller piece?

Answer 1

Answer: The smaller piece is 750m long.

Explanation:

let the smaller piece be x

so

150m + x + x = 1650

150 + 2x = 1650

or, 2x = 1500

so, x = 750 m
