Answer:
5/8 metres long
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of total wooden piece = 7/8 metres
Length of one broken piece = 1/4 metres
So length of another broken piece = Total wooden length - Length of one broken piece
= (7/8) - (1/4)
LCM of denominator is 8
(7/8) - (1/4)
= (7/8) - (2/8)
= (7 - 2) / 8
= 5/8
Therefore the length of the another wooden piece is 5/8 metres
