Question

a piece of wire 2 3/4metre long broke into two pieces one piece was 5 /8 metre long how long is The Other piece​

Answer 1

Answer:

step by step explanation.

And the answer is 25/8

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of the another piece of wire = 17/8 meter

Given data:

length of the piece of wire $=2\frac{3}{4}$ meter

here $2\frac{3}{4}$ is mixed convert into an improper fraction

Therefore, $2\frac{3}{4}= \frac{11}{4}$ meter

length of the one broken piece = $\frac{5}{8}$ meter  

here we need to find length of the another piece of wire      

Step-by-step explanation:  

Let $a$ be the length of the another piece of wire  

                                                therefore, $\frac{11}{4} = \frac{5}{8} +a$  

then length of the another piece of wire $a =\frac{11}{4} - \frac{5}{8}$      

                                                                   $a = \frac{22-5}{8}$  

                                                                   $a = \frac{17}{8}$ meter
