Answer:

The length of the other piece is 38 inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 190 inch pipe is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is 4 times the length of the other.

Now, to find the length of the other piece.

Let the length of the other piece be [tex]x[/tex].

And the length of one piece be [tex]4x[/tex].

The total length of the pipe = [tex]190 inch[/tex]

According to question:

[tex]4x+x=190[/tex]

⇒[tex]5x=190[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 5 we get:

⇒[tex]x=38[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the other piece is 38 inch.
