Answer: The short piece is approximately 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Since the 25 foot rope was cut into 2 pieces and the ratio is 5 to 12, that means the total amount would be 17. 25/17 rounded to the nearest tenths is 1.5. We then multiply 5 by 1.5 because 1.5 is the unit resulting in 7.5. This shows that the shorter piece is approximately 7.5 feet. Hope this helps
