You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be the length of the second part, and \"3%2F5\"x be the length of the second part. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then the total length is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+%283%2F5%29x+=+144+feet\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%288%2F5%29x+=+144+feet\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F8%29%2A%288%2F5%29x+=+%285%2F8%29%2A144+feet\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 90 feet and \"%283%2F5%29\"x = 54 feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two lengths are 90 feet and 54 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "
