"Nathan cut 3 pieces of rope. Each was between 1.1 m and 1.2 m. Write down how long each piece might be." This was the question. Could you please show the working of the answer or the reason why that's the answer?
To determine the potential lengths of the three pieces, we can consider the range given in the question, which is between 1.1 m and 1.2 m.
Let's assume the length of the first piece is x meters. Since we know the length of the rope falls between 1.1 m and 1.2 m, we can write the following inequality:
1.1 ≤ x ≤ 1.2
Similarly, let's assume the length of the second piece is y meters, and the length of the third piece is z meters. Again, we can write the following inequality for each piece:
1.1 ≤ y ≤ 1.2
1.1 ≤ z ≤ 1.2
Therefore, the possible lengths for each piece are as follows:
First piece: 1.1 m ≤ x ≤ 1.2 m
Second piece: 1.1 m ≤ y ≤ 1.2 m
Third piece: 1.1 m ≤ z ≤ 1.2 m
Please note that the exact lengths of the three pieces cannot be determined without additional information, but we have narrowed down the possible range of lengths based on the given constraints.
