If the length of a uniform pipe is 45 pounds, then the 18 pound piece is 18/45 the length of the pipe. If 18/45 of the length of the pipe is equal to 3 feet, then we can set up the equation:
(18/45)x = 3ft
Where x is the total length of the pipe. Solving for x:
<span>(18/45)x = 3ft
</span>18x = 135
x = 7.5 feet

We now know that the total length of the pipe before being cut is 7.5 feet. Since the first piece was 3 feet, we know that the second piece must be 4.5 feet (7.5 - 3).

Answer: 4.5 feet

Jenny is taking a vacation to Florida. She travels 70 kilometers per hour for 2 hours, and 63 kilometers per hour for 5 hours. O
Helga [31]
Jenny traveled 70 km/h over 2 hours and 63 km/h over 5 hours. Her travel time was a total of 7 hours. 

We need to find out how far she traveled during this 7-hour period.

70 km/h * 2 h = 140 km 
63 km/h * 5 h = 315 km

Then, we can add 140 km and 315 km to get a total distance traveled of <em>455 km/h.</em>

We were asked to find the average <em>speed.</em> We can find it now, since we have total distance traveled (455 km) and total time taken (7 hours).

Then, 
455km / 7h = 65 km/h.

lesantik [10]
At first, Anita looks like her account would grow faster. By month 4, shes at $1,200 while Miguel is at $400. However, Anita is only getting $200 a month. While Miguel gets double of whatever amount he has in his bank account. By month 10, Anita is at $2,400 while Miguel has $25,600. That is a $23,200 difference. So Miguel's bank account will grow faster than Anita.
