Question

A piece of string was cut into 20 equal pieces . The length of 8 such pieces is 24/5 m . Find the length of each piece of string

Answer 1

Answer:

If a piece of string was cut into 20 equal pieces and the length of 8 such pieces is 24/5 m then the length of each piece of string is 3/5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A piece of string was cut into 20 equal pieces.

Length of 8 pieces = 24/5 m

Given that all the pieces are of equal length.

Therefore, the length of 1 piece = $\frac{24}{5*8}$

$=\frac{3}{5}m$

So, the length of each piece of string is 3/5 m
