Question

1. How many pieces each 5 1/6 metres long can be cut from a cloth 77 1/2 metres long? ​

Answer 1

no. of piece that can be cut

= total length of the cloth/length of a piece.

= (155/2)/(31/6)

= (155) (6) / (2) (31)

= (5) (3)

= 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of pieces that can be obtained from a $\frac{155}{2}$ m cloth  = 15 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total meter of cloth we have  =  $77\frac{1}{2}$ m  = $\frac{155}{2}$ m

Length of one piece  = $5\frac{1}{6}$ m = $\frac{31}{6}$ m

Therefore number of pieces that can be obtained from a $\frac{155}{2}$ m cloth

                                                                              =  $\frac{Total meter of cloth we have}{Length of one piece}$

                                                                               = $\frac{\frac{ 155 }{ 2 } } {\frac{ 31 }{ 6 } }$

                                                                               = $\frac{155}{2} * \frac{6}{31}$

                                                                               = 5 * 3

                                                                                = 15 pieces
