a 40 m long rope aap is cut into pieces of equal size. if the length of one piece is 4/5 m, find the total number of pieces
Answers
Answer:
The total number of pieces of ropes is 50
Step-by-step explanation:
The rope is 40m long and cut into pieces of equal size such that the length of one piece is 4/5m.
Therefore, the number of pieces of the rope is (40×5/4)=50.
The total number of pieces is 50.
Given: A 40 m long rope is cut into pieces of equal size.
The length of one piece is 4/5 m.
To Find: The total number of pieces.
Solution:
- We know that when the total length and length of one piece are given so we can find the number of pieces by the formula,
Total number of pieces = Total length of rope / length of one piece ...(1)
Coming to the numerical,
Let the total number of pieces of equal size be 'x'.
The total length of rope = 40 m,
The length of one piece = 4/5 m.
So, putting respective values in (1), we get;
Total number of pieces = Total length of rope / length of one piece
⇒ x = 40 / (4/5)
⇒ x = 40 × 5/4
⇒ x = 50
Hence, the total number of pieces is 50.
