Question
Jessica has a piece of rope that is 75 feet long. She cuts the rope into 2 pieces. The pieces of rope are not the same length. Which 2 lengths could be the lengths of Jessica's pieces of rope?
Answers
one could be 50 feet and the other could be 25 feet
Any answer with a pair of positive real numbers would be acceptable, as long as their sum is 75.
e.g. 13.467 and 61.533 would do, so would 2 and 73, etc
