Question

A ribbon 22 1/2 cm long is cut into a number of equal pieces, each measuring 1 1/4 cm. How many pieces was the ribbon cut into?

If the original ribbon was cut into 27 equal pieces, what would have been the length of each piece (in cm)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$total \: lengt \: of \: ribbon \: = 22 \frac{1}{2} cm \\ it \: is \: to \: be \: cut \: in \: equal \: pieces \: \\ each \: measuring \: 1\frac{1}{4} cm \\ hence \: no \: of \: pieces \: = \: 22\frac{1}{2} \div 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{45}{2} \div \frac{5}{4} \\ = \frac{45}{2} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{9}{1} \times \frac{2}{1} \\ = \frac{18}{1} = 18 \: pieces$
