A metal rod 9.4 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is 3 times as long as the other. Find the length of the longer piece in meters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter

the length of the longer piece is 7.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of one piece of the metal rod.

Let y represent the length of the other(longer) piece of metal rod.

A metal rod 9.4 meters long is cut into two pieces. This means that

x + y = 9.4 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

One piece is 3 times as long as the other. This means that

y = 3x

Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x = 9.4

4x = 9.4

x = 9.4/4 = 2.4 to the nearest tenth.

Substituting x = 2.4 into y = 3x, it becomes

y = 3 × 2.4

y = 7.2

the answer is thin because within context, the stanza concludes the and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be thin, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". hope this , good luck.
