Question

a piece of wire 3 3/4m long broke into two piece one piece is 1 1/2 m long how long is the other piece​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

ength of wire = 3 3/4 or 15/4m

one peice = 1 1/2m or 3/2m

other peice = 15/4-3/2

9/4m

Thank you

Answer 2

Given,

• Length of the wire  =  $3\frac{3}{4}m$  → $\frac{15}{4}m$
• Length of one piece =  $1\frac{1}{2}m$  → $\frac{3}{2}m$

The length of the other piece = Length of the wire - Length of one piece

∴ Length of one piece = $\frac{15}{4} - \frac{3}{2}$

⇒ Length of one piece = $\frac{30-12}{4\times2}$

⇒ Length of one piece = $\frac{18}{8}$

⇒ Length of one piece = $\bold{\frac{9}{4}}$

∴ Length of one piece = $\bold{\frac{9}{4}}m$ = 2.25 m
