A length of tape is 135 centimetres long. It is cut into two pieces. The first piece is twice
as long as the second piece. How long is the shorter of the two pieces of tape?

45

Step-by-step explanation:

let the longer tape be x

shorter tape be y

given

x+y=135⇒equation 1

also given

2y=x⇒equation 2

subtituting eq2 in eq1

2y+y=135

3y=135

y=135/3=45

hope this helps

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
