Question

3 pieces of ribbon 56m,88 metre and 120m are to be cut into small pieces of the same length what is the greatest possible length of each ribbon ​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest length possible is the HCF of 56, 88, and 120

56 = 2*2*2*7

88 = 2*2*2, *11

120 = 2*2*2*3*5.

SO, HCF ( 56, 88, 120 ) = 8

Therefore, greatest possible length of each ribbon = 8 m.
