A36 foot long ribbon is cut into three pieces. the first piece of ribbon is half as long as the second piece of ribbon. the third piece is 1 foot longer than twice the length of the second piece of ribbon. how long is the longest piece of ribbon?

The longest piece is 21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three pieces be x,y and z.

The first piece of ribbon is half as long as the second piece of ribbon.

   ....(1)

The third piece is 1 foot longer than twice the length of the second piece of ribbon.

    .........(2)

And together all pieces measure 36 feet.

     ......(3)

Substituting values of x and z in (3)

Solving this we get;

=>

=>

=>

y = 10 feet

As

x = 5 feet

And also

=>

=>

=>

z = 21 feet

Hence, the longest piece is 21 feet.

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
