Question

0.43 part of a stick is dipped in water if the remaining length of the stick is 450. 78 cm, what is the whole length of the stick?

Answer 1

let the length of the stick be x cm
now, length of the stick out = 450.78 cm
part of the stick dipped = 0.43x cm
x - 450.78 = 0.43x
x - 0.43x = 450.78
0.57x = 450.78
x = 790.8cm

I hope the answer is correct..........
