If you have a piece of pipe that's 180 inches. It is cut into 2 pieces. The largest piece is 5 times longer than the smaller piece what are the lengths of the 2 pieces of pipe?
\n" ); document.write( "============================
\n" ); document.write( "5 times longer = 6 times as long.
\n" ); document.write( "S = length of small piece.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "S + 6S = 180
\n" ); document.write( "S = 180/7 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Longer piece = 1080/7 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "PS If \"5 times longer\" = 5 times as long, then what is 1 time longer, or 100% longer?
\n" ); document.write( "Is it the same length?
\n" ); document.write( "
