1b. 80 foot-long rope is cut into 3 pieces. The first piece of rope is half as long as the
second piece of rope. The third piece
is
three times as long as the second piece of
rope. What is the length of the longest
piece of rope?

Which situation could best be represented by this linear equation? 24x + 38y = 520 > if x represents the number of bracelets and y represents the number of rings, there were 24 more bracelets sold than rings. the total sales were $520. if x represents the number of bracelets and y represents the number of rings, there were 38 more bracelets sold than rings. the total sales were $520. if x represents the number of bracelets sold at $24 each and y represents the number of rings sold at $38 each, the total sales were $520 if x represents the number of bracelets and y represents the number of rings, there were 520 bracelets and rings sold. bracelets were $24, and rings were $38. e
