The length of one segment is 24cm, the length of the second is 18cm shorter.

The length of one segment is 24cm, the length of the second is 18cm shorter. How many times is the length of one segment shorter than the length of the other?

1) Let’s find out how long the second segment has, if it is known that it is 18 cm less than the length of the second segment, and the second segment has a length of 24 cm.

24 – 18 = 6 cm.

2) Find out how many times the first segment is longer than the second segment, if it is known that the first segment has a length of 24 cm, and the length of the second segment is 6 cm.

24/6 = 4 times.

Answer: The first segment is 4 times longer than the second segment.
