Algebra.Com's Answer #53284 by funmath(2933)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One-tenth of a rod is colored red, one-twentieth orange, one-thirieth yellow, one-fortieth green, one-fiftieth blue, one-sixtieth indigo, and the remainder, which is 302 in. long, violet. Find the length of the rod. \n" ); document.write( "Let the length of the rod be: x \n" ); document.write( "Then the red part is: 1/10x \n" ); document.write( "the orange part is: 1/20x \n" ); document.write( "The yellow part is: 1/30x \n" ); document.write( "the green part is:1/40x \n" ); document.write( "the blue part is:1/50x \n" ); document.write( "the indigo part is:1/60x \n" ); document.write( "The rest is: 302 in \n" ); document.write( "Problem to solve is: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The LCD is 600, multiply all of the terms by 600 to clear the fractions. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "The rod is 400 in long. \n" ); document.write( "Sanity check: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If you weren't insane before messing with all those fractions, you probably are now.
