Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN,
=LENGTH OF THE WIRE = 1 2 m =5/3m
3
=> LENGTH OF FIRST HALF = 3/4 m
=> LET THE LENGTH OF SECOND PIECE BE X
=> X+ 3/4 = 5/3 m
=> X = 5/3 - 3/4
SOLVING THE ABOVE EQUATION WE GET,
X= 5/3 - 3/4
TO MAKE PERFORM SUBTRACTION WE MUST CONVERT THEM INTO LIKE FRACTIONS SO,
L.C.M OF 3 AND 4 = 12
SO, 12 = 5 X 4 = 20
3 3X 4 12
AND, 3 = 3 X 3 = 9
4 4X3 12
NOW,
=> 20 - 12 = 11 m
12 12
SO, LENGTH OF THE SECOND PIECE OF THE WIRE IS 11/2 m
