The smaller one is a quarter of the original ( 1 + 3 1 ). That is, 2.35. The longer one is 3 times that: 7.05. Rounding gives us 7.1 meters.
Clue for your help x-first piece 3x-2nd piece
it says that if u add them it will be 9.4 so 3x+x=9.4 4x=9.4 x=2.35
so the first piece is 2.45 while the 2nd piece is 3(2.35) =7.05
The longer piece of the rod measures 7.1 meters after rounding to the nearest tenth. The shorter piece is 2.4 meters long. Together, they add up to the original length of 9.4 meters.
