Question

A ribbon 22 1/2 cm long is cut into a number of equal pieces, each measuring 114 cm. How many pieces was the ribbon cut into?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bruh it is wrong the number is $1\frac{1}{4}$cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer is 18 pieces because

22.5cm in total divided by 1.25cm

18 and it is the perfect answer.

$22\frac{1}{2} = 22.5cm (OR) \frac{45}{2}cm \\And\\1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25 (OR )\frac{5}{4}cm$

By division method

$\frac{45}{2}$÷$\frac{5}{4}$    =    $\frac{45}{2}$  ×  $Reciprocal of \frac{5}{4} = \frac{4}{5}$

         

         =   $\frac{45}{2}$   ×   $\frac{4}{5}$

         =  18 pieces
