How long was my jumping rope when I began today?

My jumping rope was cut in half. Half was thrown away. The other half was cut again one third along the way. The longer part(10 feet long) is what I use to play.

30 feet, I think

If half the rope is 15 feet....10 plus 5... two thirds, one third

10=2/3 of rope after first cutting, so the rope was divided into two 15 inch sections to begin with. Double that--your rope was 30 feet long originally.
