8 inches

48 inches

total 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x = 56

7x = 56

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 56/7

x = 8

The smaller piece is x inches or 8 inches

The larger piece is 6x inches or 6*8 =48 inches

8+48 = 56 inches

The total length is 56 inches

8 inches, and 48 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x=56

Solve the equation.

7x=56

x=8

Interpret the results and write the answer in words.

The smaller piece is x = 8 in.

The longer piece is 6x = 6 (8) = 48 in.

The lengths of the two pieces are 8 in

and 48 in.

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
