Question

A rope is cut into three and one-third is used. Then one-fourth of the remaining rope is cut off and used. The piece left is 6 meters long. How many meters long was the rope originally?

Answer 1

(1/3)x + (1/4 * 2/3)x + 6 = x

(4/12)x + (2/12)x + 6 = x

(1/2)x + 6 = x

6 = (1/2)x

6 / 1/2) = x

12 = x

Answer 2

x(1 - 1/3)(3/4) = 6
x(2/3)(3/4)n = 6
6/12x = 6
x = 6(12/6)
x=12
