Question

A piece of rope is 7m 20cm long. It is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is shorter than the other by 1m 80cm. Find the length of the shorter piece.

Answer 1

ANSWER :

Shorter piece is 2m 70 cm and the longer piece is 4m 50cm

EXPLANATION :

Let x - 1.8 m be the shorter piece then x be the longer piece

x + x - 1.8 = 7.2

2x = 9

x = 4.5 m = 4 m 50 cm

x - 1.8 = 4.5 - 1.8 = 2.7m = 2 m 70 cm

Shorter piece is 2m 70cm

A piece of rope is 7m 20cm long. It is cut into 2 pieces. One piece is shorter than the other by 1m 80cm. Find the length of the shorter piece.

$\huge\purple{\underline{\underline{Answer:}}}$

$\bf\underline{Given:}$

• A piece of rope is 7m20cm= 720 cm long
• Cut into 2 pieces

$\bf\underline{Solution:}$

Let longer piece be x.

Shorter piece = $x-1m 80cm=> x - 180cm$

x + x - 180cm = 720

=> $2x - 180 cm$ = 720

=> $2x$ = 720+180

=> $2x$ = 900

=> $x = \frac{900}{2}$

=> $x = 450 cm$

$x - 180cm= 450-180$

=> $270 cm$

=> $2m\:70 cm$ Ans.
