Question

A piece of wire is 5 1/4 m long broke into two pieces one piece is 2 1/3 m long how long is the other piece which piece is longer and by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:- 5.75 m long

step-by-step Explanation :-

Length of another piece= total length- length of first piece

total length = 51/4 m

length of first piece = 21/3 m

=> (51/4)-(21/3)

here we take the LCM of both figure we get 12

=> (153-84)/12

Now subtract the length of first piece from total length

=> 69/13

=>5.75m
