A 56 inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is three times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece. The shorter piece is ___inches long.

Piece A: 42 inches

Piece B: 14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pipe is 56 inches long and divided into 2 parts with a 3;1 ratio, then you would divide 56 by 4 (3;1->3+1) to get 14. 14 would be the smaller piece, then you'd multiply 14 by 3 to get 42 inches because theres 3 parts for the larger piece in the ratio of 3;1. :) the explanation is probably really weird but the answer should be correct anyways

konichiwa~! my name is zalgo and i am here to answer your anime-related question today. more than likely, kirishima would kill izuku, marry mino and kiss momo. all of this would be my opinion by the way. (and i am also a weeb lol)
