Answer 1

Answer:

Hey there.

All you need to do is subtract the the length of the broken wire from the original length of the wire

Length of the other broken wire=original length of wire -lenth of broken wire known

Length of broken wire=(7/8)m - (1/4)m=(5/8)m=0.625m

Hope that helped.!

Answer 2

Answer:

41/56

A piece of wire = 7/8

One piece = 1/7

Second piece = 7/8-1/7

L.C.M = 56

Then,

7/8×7

49/56

1/7×8

8/56

49-8=41

41/56
