A rope is 24 feet long. It is cut into two pieces such that one piece is half the length of the other. Find the lengths of the two pieces of rope. Let x = the length of the shorter piece of rope.

x + (1/2)x = 24

(3/2)x = 24

(2/3)(3/2)x = (2/3)(24)

x = 16

The lengths of rope are 16 feet and 8 feet.

Apinhole camera is made out of a light-tight box with a piece of film attached to one side and pinhole on the opposite side. the optimum diameter d(in millimeters) of the pinhole can be modeled by d=1.9[ (5.5 x 10^-4) l) ] ^1/2, where l is the length of the camera box (in millimeters). what is the optimum diameter for a pinhole camera if the camera box has a length of 10 centimeters
