Answer 2

Answer:

$\large \underline{\boxed{\textsf{Length of cord = 2.25m or 225cm}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large \underline{\underline{\mathsf{Given\:that...}}}$

A cord of length 58 1/2 m has been cut into 26 pieces of equal length. We need to find the length of the equal part..

$\large \underline{\underline{\mathsf{Solution..}}}$

Here we have

Total length of cord = 58 1/2 m

(converting it into improper fraction we have)

$\mathsf{Length \: of \: cord\: = 58 1/2 = \dfrac{58 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \dfrac{117}{2} = 58.5m}$

Now,

Now number of parts in which it's divided = n = 26

Thus now

$\implies \mathsf{The\: length\: of\: each\: part \: = \dfrac{Total\: length\: of \: cord}{n}}$

$\implies \mathsf{\dfrac{58.5m}{26}}$

$\implies \mathsf{ \dfrac{58.5m}{26}= 2.25m = 225cm }$

$\underline{\textbf{Therefore required answer is}}$

$\large \underline{\boxed{\textsf{Length of cord = 2.25m or 225cm}}}$
