Question

6. Anushka had 16 3/5 long ribbon. She cut it into two pieces such that the length of one piece is 9 1/3 m find length of other piece.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

length of other piece=total length-length of one piece

=83/5-28/3

=243-140/15

=103/15=6 13/15

please mark me brainliest.

Answer 2

The length of the other piece of ribbon is 55/3 meters

GIVEN

The total length of the ribbon =

$16 \frac{3}{5} meter$

Length of one piece of ribbon =

$9 \frac{1}{3} meters$

TO FIND

We can simply solve the above problem as follows -

First, we will convert the lengths of the ribbon to proper fractions -

The total length of the ribbon =

$16 \frac{3}{5} = 5 \times 16 + 3 = \frac{83}{3} m$

Length of the one piece of the ribbon =

$9 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{28}{3} m$

Let the length of the other piece of the ribbon be, x meters

So,

Length of one piece + length of another piece = Total length of the ribbon

$\frac{28}{3} + x = \frac{83}{3}$

$x = \frac{83}{3} - \frac{28}{3}$

$x \: = \frac{55}{3}$

Hence, The length of the other piece of ribbon is 55/3 meters
