Answer 1

Answer:

So we have to just half it

No.of pieces =2.4/2=1.2

Answer 2

Concept:

In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies factors to be multiplied.

Given:

We are given a ribbon which has 8 pieces of 2.4 cm each.

Find:

We need to find if the pieces were 4 cm long, then how many pieces could be cut from the ribbon.

Solution:

First, we will find out the total length of the ribbon:

Total length of the ribbon=8×2.4 cm

Total length=19.2 cm

Now, since we require 4 cm long pieces, we will divide 19.2 cm by 4:

Number of 4 cm pieces= 19.2÷4

=4.8

Therefore, we will get 4 pieces of 4 cm each from the ribbon and 3.2 cm of ribbon will be left.
