PSLEZane pushes two sticks, G and H, straight into the ground until the length of each stick that is above the ground is the same.
18 of G and
112 of H are in the ground. The length of G in the ground is 32 cm longer than the length of H in the ground. What is the total length of sticks G and H?
Fraction of Stick G above ground
= 1 -
18 =
78 Fraction of Stick H above ground
= 1 -
112 =
1112 Heights of Sticks G and H above ground are the same.
78 G =
1112 H
7788 G =
7784 H
Length of Stick G more than length of Stick H
= 88 u - 84 u
= 4 u
4 u = 32
1 u = 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Total length of Sticks G and H
= 88 u + 84 u
= 172 u
= 172 x 8
= 1376 cm
Answer(s): 1376 cm
