Christopher has cut three pieces of string to three kites.two pieces are equal length. rhw third pieces is one half of the lenght of each of the others. he cut out the three pieces from a roll of string 70 meters long without any String left over.Find the number of meters of in each piece

Let x = the longer piece of string

2x + 0.5x = 70

2.5x = 70

x = 70/2.5

x = ?

x=28

x = 28

28

To find the length of each piece of string, let's represent the length of one of the equal pieces as "x." Since the other equal piece is also the same length, its length will also be "x."

Now, according to the given information, the third string is one-half the length of each of the first two strings. Therefore, the length of the third string will be (1/2)x.

Since Christopher cut all three pieces from a roll of string that was 70 meters long, we can set up an equation:

x + x + (1/2)x = 70

Combining like terms:

2x + (1/2)x = 70

To solve this equation, we can get rid of the denominators by multiplying everything by 2:

2(2x) + 2(1/2)x = 2 * 70

Simplifying:

4x + x = 140

Combining like terms:

5x = 140

Now, to find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:

x = 140 / 5

x = 28

So, each of the equal pieces of string has a length of 28 meters.

And, since the length of the third string is (1/2)x, we can calculate its length as well:

(1/2) * 28 = 14

Therefore, the third piece of string has a length of 14 meters.

In summary, the length of each piece of string is as follows:
- The first piece: 28 meters
- The second piece: 28 meters
- The third piece: 14 meters
