Question

A piece of cloth which is 10 metre in length is cut into two pieces such that the length of one piece is equal to one
-fourth of the Other. find the length of the two piece.

Answer 1

Answer:

8 metre and 2 metre are two pieces of the cloth

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length a piece = x metre therefore length of the other piece = x/4 metre

Total length $=x+\frac{x}{4} = \frac{5x}{4}$

$\therefore\frac{5x}{4} = 10\\\implies x=\frac{10*4}{5}=2*4=8metre$

Therefore 8 metre and 2 metre are two pieces of the cloth

Answer 2

The lengths of the two pieces are 2m and 8m.
