<PRE><B>Question 883287</B>
The ratio is 4:7 so that means the two pieces are 4x and 7x ft long. They add to 66. So,



4x + 7x = 66



11x = 66



x = 66/11



x = 6



--------------



4x = 4*6 = 24



7x = 7*6 = 42



--------------



The lengths of the two pieces are 24 ft and 42 ft</PRE>
