Question

A piece of wire 7/8 metre long broke in two pieces. one piece was 3/4 metre long. how long is the other piece

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

total length of wire 7/8 m after broken into two pieces, one piece length=1/4m

let length of other piece=x

now x+1/4 =7/8m

x=7/8-1/4

after taking LCM we get:

x=(7-2)/8 x=5/8 m

hence the other piece will be 5/8 m long.

Answer 2

7/8 -3/4 = 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

hence the other piece will be 5/8 m long
