Mr. Stanton bought 121 feet of rope to repair a rope bridge. The ratio of the two pieces that he needs from the length he bought is 4 to 7. If he uses the entire length of rope, how long is each piece?

Respuesta :

44 and 77 .....................
121 ft total and is split by a ratio of 4:7
4+7=11
121/11 = 11
So on piece is 4(11)=44ft long, and one is 7(11)=77ft long.
