Question

4. A wire of length 6 1/2
m is cut into 13 pieces of equal length. Find the length of each piece.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given,

Length of the wire $\mathsf{=6\frac{1}{2}m=\frac{13}{2}m}$

We need to divide it into thirteen equal parts.

Hence, we need to divide the length of the wire by the number of parts.

$\mathsf{\frac{13}{2} \div 13=\frac{13}{2\times13}=\frac{1}{2\times1}=\frac{1}{2}m}$

Hence, each piece of wire has to be of length 1/2 m or 0.5 m.

Answer: 1/2m or 0.5m

I hope this helps. :D
