Question

A piece of wire 6/8 metre long broke into two pieces. one piece was 2/4 long. how long is the two pieces​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of the other piece is 1/4 metre

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the unknown piece be x

Hence, x + 2/4 = 6/8

x = 6/8 - 2/4

x = 6/8 - 4/8

x = 2/8

x = 1/4 m

Answer 2

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the second piece be x

so, 2/4 + x = 6/8

= x= 6/8 - 2/4

=x= 6/8 - 4/8

=x= 2/8

so x= 1/4
