A 20 foot piece of string is cut into to two pieces so that the longer piece is 5 feet longer than twice the shorter piece. If the shorter piece is x feet long, find the lengths of both pieces.

If you’re looking for outside diameter(O.D.) you can always use a piece of string(a shoestring is great, even a belt or piece of paper is perfectly fine).

1. Wrap the string(or similar) around the pipe musing sure to note the point at which the two sides intersect, cross, or overlap.

2. Measure the length of string or similar item used to obtain the measurement needed for step 3.

3. Almost Done: Take your Measurment and divide it by 3.14. For Example, a 1/2” Pipe measures about 2.7” around but it’s Outside Diamter is .840” or slightly over 3/4”. Most pipes say the size on the pipe itself so you may look and save a little headache, but this will work out for you. If you’re not into plumbing so much as most of the population isn’t- get a “Shark Bite” or similarly designed fitting to join the pipe together at all joints so 2 for replacing one piece but measure twice and cut once- if you’ve got to cut twice mxke sure it’s only from cutting it too long originally, that’s a simple fix but you can’t add anything once it’s cut only 1/16” too short. These locking connectors are easy for pros or first timers, they’re a little forgiving but 1/20” too short is still just that, “too short”. Good Luck! See Diagrams below as they may be helpful!

1) Wrap a piece pf plastic or s string around where the belt goes, and then measure the plastic or the string.
2) Using this number as a general reference, go to a dealer (such as on-line) and order a belt according to the closest belt available for that length .
God bless your efforts.
(You may want to get a belt a tiny bit shorter rather than longer.)

Good morning Lisa!

There are likely two or three answers here.

Multiplying out directly, you get 9.3 x 11.7 = 108.81 sq feet.

But, the only floor covering that goes down like that is paint.
If you are putting down 12x12" tile, then you'll need to go 10 wide in the 9.3 foot direction (with cut tiles for the last .3 foot), and 12 long in the 11.7 direction, so you'll need 120 x one square foot tiles.

If it's tile of another dimension, divide the dimension into the 9.3 and into the 11.7, then round the answer up to the next whole number for each, and multiply together. 2x2 foot tiles would go 4->5 times for 9.3, and 5->6 times for 11.7, to give you 5x6=30 tiles x 4sq ft/tile = 120 sq feet.

If you're doing wooden flooring, you'll do a similar calculation based on the width of the wood laths, divided into one dimension and rounded up, times the linear feet needed in the other direction. If the boards are 4 inches wide, running parallel to the long wall, 4" goes into 9.3 feet 27 times, so round to 28. 28 x 4" = 9.333 feet You need 11.7 linear feet the other way. 11.7 x 9.333 = 109.2 sq feet. Though you won't likely be cutting 11.7 foot long pieces off of some piece as long as a full tree, so divide the board length into 11.7 and round up. If it comes in 3 foot sections, then 3 goes into 11.7 three times, round up to 4, so you'll have 28 widths x 1/3 foot per width x 12 feet length per strip = 112 sq feet.

Hoping this is helpful. good luck!

You should not be able to pull fabric from the machine when the presser foot is down. The presser foot should always be raised before removing the fabric.

Are you trying to darn or quilt something without the feed dogs activated? If so, there are special presser feet for that purpose that are shorter in height (ie darning foot) which allow more space between the presser foot and the stitch plate so the fabric can be moved freely.

6 feet

a douple of ways, 1. if you know were the final position were you want the wall to finish,put a stake at the 13 ft mark and another were the 11ft finishes then use a string line..or cut a 30 degree angle on a seraight piece of wood,hold that against the wall with the point of angle at end of wall and once again use stakes and string to mark it out

It is solved by writing an equation
If the shorter piece is y cm, then the the longer piece would be 4y which is four times the shorter length. The total of these 2 together is 2meters or 200 cm, Now write the equation (2 pieces together is 200cm)

y + 4y = 200
5y =200
y =40
Since we have taken the lengh of shorter piece as y,
Shorter piece=40 cm OR 0.4m
Longer piece =160cm OR 1.6m
I have written the steps in detail for you to understand the process
Good luck

Longer piece= 160cm

If it is a duel line trimmer then:

Cut two separate pieces of string, about 7 ft. each.

Stick the end of the line in the hole on the inside of spool.

Wind clockwise onto spool, putting the line that is closest to the ground on first.

Once you have winded this piece on, lock the last 4 inches of line through the slits on spool.

Repeat process for second piece of line, locking the last 4 inches in slot opposite the other locked in piece.

Put the spool on the trimmer, feeding the end of lines through either hole on trimmer.

Before you push the spool all the way on, pull the strings out of the locked position.

If it is a single line trimmer: Then just wind a single piece of string clockwise onto spool. This may need to be longer than 7ft.

There should be a half sphere-like object on the bottom of the spool where the line goes. Twist counter clock-wise to remove.

KensiesMom is right about the recall... they will send you replacement panels wen you contact them...

otherwise... here's the link to their instruction sheet for this model: http://www.dorel-asia.com/DorelAsiaFiles/ProductDocuments/9233_WM1676BCR-DC_WM1676BC%20Sleigh%20Crib.pdf

that should be what you should have gotten with your crib
