Question

a ribbon is 10 m long. How many pieces of length 1/2 m can be cut from it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 pieces of length 1/2 m can be cut from a 10m long ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the ribbon = 10m

Length of the piece=$\frac{1}{2} m$=0.5m

No .of pieces=$\frac{10}{0.5}$

                     = 20 pieces

Answer 2

Let,

n be the number of small cutted pieces of ribbon

where, length of ribbon is 10m

each piece of ribbon is of 0.5m length

therefore,

Total length= n × length of pieces

10=n×0.5

n=20

we can get 20 pieces of length 1/2m or 0.5m from 10m long ribbon
