Welcome back, HOI!

It doesn't make sense to talk about one "price" being twice as long as another! Is it possible that this should be "the piece of yellow yarn was twice as long as a piece of blue yarn?" If so, "after 90 inches has been cut" from a piece 230 inches long, it will be 230- 90= 140 inches long. Since that is "twice as long a piece of blue yarn", the blue yarn is 140/2= 70 inches long. So, initially, the piece of yellow yarn was 230- 70= 160 inches longer than the piece of blue yarn.

Not all that long surely? My computer went down and I had to get (and set up) a new one. By the way, I had a friend who use the "net-name" "Hog on Ice" (I never dared ask why) and he abbreviated it "HOI".

A look at your "history" shows a jump from
