Answer 2

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
