Question

A piece of wire is of length 6/7 m. If it is cut into two pieces in such a way that the

length of one piece is 2/5 m, what is the length of the other piece?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16/35

Step-by-step explanation:

6/7-2/5

LCM of 7and5=35

30-14/35

16/35

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer:

Total Length of wire = 6/7 m

length of one cut wire = 2/5 m

let the other cut length of wire = x m

by the question, we have

$\frac{2}{5} + x = \frac{6}{7} \\ = > x = \frac{6}{7} - \frac{2}{5} \\ = > x = \frac{(6 \times 5) - (7 \times 2)}{7 \times 5} \\ = > x = \frac{30 - 14}{35} = \frac{16}{35} m$

.°. The other cut length of wire = 16/35m
