Question

A ribbon is 42 meters long .how many pieces each of length 1 3/4 meters can be cut from it

Answer 1

$\bf{\underline{\underline \blue{Solution:-}}}$

$\sf\underline{\red{\:\:\: AnswEr:-\:\:\:}}$

• The number of pieces formed = 24 Pieces

$\sf\underline{\red{\:\:\: Given:-\:\:\:}}$

• A ribbon is 42 meters long.

$\sf\underline{\red{\:\:\: Need\:To\: Find:-\:\:\:}}$

• How many pieces each of length $\sf {1 \dfrac{ 3}{4} }$ meters can be cut from it?

$\bf{\underline{\underline \blue{Explanation:-}}}$

Total length of the ribbon = 42 m [Given]

Length of the piece = $\sf {1 \dfrac{ 3}{4} \:m }$

Length of the piece = $\sf {\dfrac{7}{4}\:m}$

$\sf\underline{\red{\:\:\: A.T.Q:-\:\:\:}}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf {The\: number\:of\: pieces\: formed = 42 \div \dfrac{7}{4} }$

$\dashrightarrow \sf {The\: number\:of\: pieces\: formed = 42 \times \dfrac{4}{7} }$

$\dashrightarrow \sf {The\: number\:of\: pieces\: formed = 24}$

$\sf\underline{\green{\:\:\: ThereFore:-\:\:\:}}$

• The number of pieces formed = 24 Pieces

$\rule{200}{2}$

Answer 2

$Given \: Total \: length \: of \:a \: ribbon = 42\m$

/* If it is cut into equal pieces */

$Length \: of \: each \: piece = 1 \frac{3}{4} \: m$

$= \frac{7}{4} \: m$

$Let \: number \: pieces \: cut \:from \: ribbon =n$

$\red{n} = \frac{Total \: length }{ length \:of \: \:small \: piece}$

$= \frac{42}{\frac{7}{4}}$

$= 42 \times \frac{4}{7}$

$= 6 \timee 4$

$= 24$

Therefore .,

$\red{ number \: pieces \: cut \:from\:the \: ribbon}$

$\green { = 24 }$
