Answer :-

$\large \bold{Given \: That}$

A piece of wire 7/8 m long broke into two pieces. One piece was 1/4 m long.

$\large \bold{To \: Find}$

How long is the other piece?

$\large \bold{Solution}$

Let the length of other piece be 'x'.

According to Question.

$= > \: \: \: \frac{1}{4} \: + \: x \: \: = \: \: \frac{7}{8} \\ \\ = > \: \: \: \frac{1 \: + \: 4x}{4} \: \: = \: \: \frac{7}{8} \\ \\ = > \: \: \: 8 \: (1 \: + \: 4x) \: \: = \: \: 4 \: \times \: 7 \\ \\ = > \: \: \: 8 \: + \: 32x \: \: = \: \: 28 \\ \\ = > \: \: \: 32x \: \: = \: \: 28 \: - \: 8 \\ \\ = > \: \: \: 32x \: \: = \: \: 20 \\ \\ = > \: \: \: x \: \: = \: \: \frac{20}{32} \\ \\ = > \: \: \: 0.625$
