Answer 1

Answer:

I can't understand your question .Sorry! !

Answer 2

Given:

• The length of the wire = 5/6 m
• The length of the first piece of the wire = 3/4 cm

To Find:

• The length of the other piece of the wire.

Solution:

The formula to find the length of the other piece of the wire is given by,

⇒ The length of the other piece = total length - length of the first piece

On substituting the values in equation 1 we get,

⇒ The length of the other piece = 5/6 - 3/4

In the above step, we will take the LCM of 3 and 4 which is 12.

⇒ The length of the other piece = (10-9)/12 {subtracting the terms}

⇒ The length of the other piece = 1/12

∴ The length of the other piece of the wire = 1/12 m
