Question

a ribbon is 6 1/3m long is cut into two pieces.the length of one piece is 2 2/3.find the length of the other piece.

Answer 1

$\bf\huge\underline{\underline{ Given :- }}$

• Length of ribbon is $6 \: \frac{1}{3} m$

• it is cut into two pieces

• length of one piece $2 \: \frac{2}{3} m$

$\bf\huge\underline{\underline{ To \: Find:- }}$

• Length of other piece

$\bf\huge\underline{\underline{ Answer :- }}$

• total length - length of one piece

• $6 \: \frac{1}{3} - 2 \: \frac{2}{3}$

• $6 \: \frac{1}{3} - 2 \: \frac{2}{3} \: \: \: \: \: = \: \: \: \: \: \frac{19}{3} - \frac{8}{ 3}$

• $\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \: \frac{11}{3}$

• $\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 3 \: \frac{2}{3}$ m

$\rule{15cm}{0.02cm}$

Length of other piece = $3 \: \frac{2}{3}$ m

Answer 2

Answer:

$3 \frac{2}{3} metres$

Step-by-step explanation:

☆To find:

•The length of the other piece

☆Given:

•The length of ribbon = 6 1/3

•The length of one piece = 2 2/3

☆Assuming :

•Let the length of the other piece be x

☆Solution:

$2 \frac{2}{3} + x = 6 \frac{1}{3} \\ = > \frac{8}{3} + x = \frac{19}{3} \\ = > x = \frac{19}{3} - \frac{8}{3} \\ = > x = \frac{19 - 8}{3} \\ = > x = \frac{11}{3} \\ = > x = 3 \frac{2}{3}$

☆Hence:

•The lenth of the other piece is 3 whole 2/3 metres
