Answer 1

Answer:

30m,90m,180m

Step-by-step explanation:

With this question the fastest way is to do trial and error.

if u cut up a 300m string into 3 sections, you know the smallest string has to be less than 100 because 300/3=100.

When you tried 30 you would find,

30×3=90.

90×2=180

180+90+30=300
