Question

A factory makes rods by cutting plastic pipes that are 4 feet long into 7 equal-sized rods.

How long is each rod? In fractions or mixed number plsss

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that we have cut the 4 ft long.

We have to make it into 7 times it's original piece.

To determine : Is the length of the new rods.

Let the length of each new rod be x.

[What's the benefit?]

Okay, so the benefit is ; we can find the answer more easily, by assumption.

We need 7 rods :-

7x = 4 ft

1 = $\rm{\dfrac{4}{7x}}$

x = $\rm{\dfrac{4x}{7x}}$

So, x gets cancelled. Now, we get the answer as $\rm{\dfrac{4}{7}}$.

Hence, 4/7 is the required answer.

Answer 2

Given :-

A  factory makes rods by cutting plastic pipes that are 4 feet long into 7 equal-sized rods.

To Find :-

Length of one rod

Solution :-

Length of one rod = Total length/Total number of pieces

Length of one rod = 4/7

So,

Length of one rod = 4/7 ft
