a 285​-inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is five times the length of the other. Find the length of the shorter piece.

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x and the longer piece be 5x.

Short piece + Long piece = 285 inches

x + 5x = 225

6x = 225

x = 225 ÷ 6

x = 37.5
