Question

A ribbon is 4 meter long we cut it into 50 cmpeices and house and have nothing over ? write the reason why or why not?​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since, 4 meter is a multiple of 50 cm, after 8 pieces of 50 cm ribbons, there will be nothing left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 meter = 4x100 cm = 400 cm = 8x50 cm

∴ $\frac{4 meter}{50 cm} = \frac{(8).(50)}{50} = 8$

Since, 4 meter is a multiple of 50 cm, after 8 pieces of 50 cm ribbons, there will be nothing left over.
