You know that a rope is no more than 100 feet long. you need to cut the rope into three pieces.
the second piece is to be three times as long as the first piece, and the third piece must be 18 feet
long. what is the maximum length of the second piece?

Step-by-step explanation:

first piece= 1u

third piece=18 feet

maximum length for first+second piece= 100-18= 82
