rope is 200 meters long.
\n" ); document.write( "1 centimeter = 1 meter divided by 100 = .01 * meter
\n" ); document.write( "12 centimeters * .01 = .12 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "rope is divided into 2 parts.
\n" ); document.write( "1 part is .12 meters longer than the other part.
\n" ); document.write( "the sum of the 2 parts is equal to 200 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "let x = length of one part.
\n" ); document.write( "let x + .12 = length of the other part.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + .12 = 200
\n" ); document.write( "2x + .12 = 200
\n" ); document.write( "subtract .12 from both sides of the equation to get
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 200 - .12 = 199.88
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides of equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 199.88 / 2 = 99.94 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "1 part is equal to x which is equal to 99.94 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "the other part is equal to x + .12 = 99.94 + .12 = 100.06
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "100.06 + 99.94 = 200 meters
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "your answer is:
\n" ); document.write( "the shorter part is 99.94 meters long
\n" ); document.write( "the longer part is 100.06 meters long.
\n" ); document.write( "-----\r
