Question

a piece of rod 7/8 meters long is broken into two pieces.one piece was 1/4 meter.how long is the other piece?

Answer 1

length of wire = 7/8meters
after break , length of one piece
of wire = 1/4 meters

second is = x

so, 1/4+x=7/8
(1+4x)/4=7/8
= 5/8

1/4+5/8=7/8
7/8=7/8

Answer 2

Solutions :-

Given :
Length of rod = 7/8 m

After broken the rod into two pieces,
Length of one piece of rod = 1/4 m

Let the length of the other piece be x


A/q


$= > x + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{8} \\ \\ = > x = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{4} \\ \\ = > x = \frac{7 - 2}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$


Hence,
The length of the other piece of rod = 5/8 m
