Question

4/7 of a pole is in the mud. When 1/3 of it is pulled out, 250 cm of the pole is still in the mud. Find the full length of the pole ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1050 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

we assume that the full length is 1 unit.

1/3 is the length that has been pulled out from the mud. so the remaining length of pole still in mud is.....

= (4/7- 1/3)

= 5/21

& this length is equal to 250 cm

so,

5/21 = 250

1 = 250×21/5

1= 50×21

1 unit = 1050 cm

it's the full length of pole.
