Question

a metal pole is 500 cm long correct to nearest cm the pile is cut into rods each of length 5.8 cm correct to nearest mm calculate the largest number of rods that the pole can be cut into

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

a metal pole is 500 cm long correct to nearest cm the pile is cut into rods each of length 5.8 cm correct to nearest mm calculate the largest number

Given metal pole length = L1 = 500 cm

Rods cut into each piece of length = L2= 5.8

Now number of poles = L1 / L2

                                     = 500 / 5.8

                                        = 86.2  cm ≅ 862 mm (1 cm = 10 mm)

Therefore largest amount of poles that can be cut = 86 2 mm
