Explanation
A 480-meter long rope is cut into two pieces. One piece is 3 times as long as the other piece. What is the difference in length between the two pieces?
Divide 480 by 4 to get the smaller piece.
\(\frac{480}{4}= 120\)
The longer piece will equal three times of smaller piece means \(120*3 = 360\)
The difference in length between the two pieces \(= 360-120 = 240\)
Answer: B
