A rope is 89 cm long. It is cut into 3 pieces. The longest piece is 3 times as long as the middle-sized piece and the shortest piece is 44 cm shorter than the longest piece. Find the length of the shortest piece (in cm).
x+3x+(3x-44)=89 where x is the length of middle piece,solving get x=19,hence the length of shortest is 57-44=13(which is answer)
SHORTER PIECE = 13cm
A string is 148 cm long. It is cut into 3 pieces. The longest piece is 4 times as long as the middle sized piece and the shortest piece is 77 cm shorter than the longest piece. Find the length of the shortest piece (in cm).
A string is 94 cm long. It is cut into 3 pieces. The longest piece is 4 times as long as the middle sized piece and the shortest piece is 59 cm shorter than the longest piece. Find the length of the shortest piece (in cm).

I have a stick of length 3 cm and I select 2 random points on it and break it at those points to get 3 pieces.
If the probability that these pieces will form a triangle is m/n where m and n are coprime integers then what is the value of m × n?
