almudena has cut three quarters of a rope to 3 m in length and daniel has cut 3 / 5 of another of 4 m. ? which of the two pieces are longer
3/4x = 3
x = 3 / (3/4)
x = 3 * (4/3)
x = 12/3 = 4
Do the same for Daniel's rope.
To determine which of the two pieces is longer, we need to compare the lengths of the two pieces.
Let's start with Almudena's piece. She has cut three quarters of a rope, which means she has 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 of the original length remaining.
If the original length was L, then Almudena's piece is 1/4 * L.
Now let's move on to Daniel's piece. He has cut 3/5 of a rope, which means he has 1 - 3/5 = 2/5 of the original length remaining.
If the original length was M, then Daniel's piece is 2/5 * M.
Given that Almudena's piece is 3m in length and Daniel's piece is 4m in length, we can set up the following equations:
1/4 * L = 3
2/5 * M = 4
To solve for L and M, we need more information about the original lengths of the ropes. Without this information, we cannot determine which of the two pieces is longer.
