Question

15 pipes are needed for tap connection to a house. If length of each pipe is 5 mts 95
cms. Tell the distance of the house from main pipe?

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance of the house from main pipe is  89 m.25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Number of pipe needed= 15

Length of each pipe=5m.95 cm.

Here the unit of length of pipe is in m. and cm. both. so first of all convert the length into cm.

As we know,

1 m. =100 cm.

so, 5 m. =100×5 = 500cm.

5 m. 95 cm.500+95 =595 cm.

Distance of the house from the main pipe =length of each pipe × no. of pipe needed

                                                                      =595 × 15

                                                                       =8925 cm.

1 cm.= 1/100 m.

8925 cm. =8925 × (1/100)

                =89.25 m.

                =89 m. 25 cm
