Question

A cord of length 71 1/2 meter has cut into 26 pieces of equal length . Find the length of each piece.

Answer 1

length of Chord=143/2m
number of Pieces it has been cut into =26
length of each piece=( 143/2) ÷26
length of each piece= (143/2) × 1/26
length of each piece= 11/4 = 2 3/4m

Answer 2

Answer:

2.75 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :A cord of length $71\frac{1}{2}$ meter has cut into 26 pieces of equal length .

To Find: Find the length of each piece.

Solution:

Length of chord = $71\frac{1}{2}$ = 71.5 m

Now the chord is divided into 26 equal pieces.

So, Length of each piece = $\frac{71.5}{26}$

                                          =  $2.75$

Hence the length of each piece is 2.75 m
