A ribbon 8 meters 70 cm long was cut into two pieces if the longer piece was twice as long as the shorter piece what was the length of the longer piece?

Hi Kate,
Please find below the solution to the asked query :

Total length of the ribbon = 8 m 70 cm 

1 m = 100 cm

8 m 70 cm = (800 + 70) cm = 870  cm



3 units = 870 cm1 unit = 870 ÷ 3 cm = 290 cm2 units = 290 × 2 = 580 cm = 500  + 80 cm = 5 m 80 cm

So, length of longer piece of ribbon = 5 m 80 cm
