Question

A cord of length 143/2 m has been cut into 26 pieces of equal length. What is the length of each piece?​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.75m

Step-by-step explanation:

length of the cord = $\frac{143}{2}m$

It has been cut into 26 pieces means that it has been divided into 26 pieces.

∴ If we divide 143/2 m by 26, we will get the answer.

=$\frac{143}{2}$÷$26$

$= \frac{143}{2} X \frac{1}{26}$

= 2.75m

So the length of each piece will be 2.75m
