Question

3 ropes of length 6 metre 30 cm 585 cm and 360 CM respectively are cut into smaller pieces of equal length what will the greatest possible length of each piece

Answer 1

The ropes are cutted into equal parts so the half of length will its maximum part.

6m 30cm = 630cm
Greatest possible length = 630÷2
= 315 cm or 3m 15cm

Second rope
Length = 585
Greatest possible length = 585/2
= 292.5
( if the answer ahould not be in decimal then divide it by 3
i.e. 585÷3 = 195).

Third rope
Length = 360
Greatest possible length = 360/2.= 180

Hope it helps.
