A wooden plank is cut into three pieces. The ratio of the length of the pieces of wood is 6:10:12. If the length of the original wooden plank is 812 centimetres, what is the length of the longer piece of wood?

290 centimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the length of the pieces of wood is 6 : 10 : 12.

We have to find the total ratio first:

6 + 10 + 12 = 28

The longer piece of wood has ratio 10.

The length of the original wooden plank is 812 centimetres, therefore, the length of the longer piece of wood is:

10/28 * 812 = 290 centimetres

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3

the answer is 0.000652422

but if you ment to ask what is 6131 divided by 4, it is 1532.75.
