Question

A rod of length 6m is cut into smale rod
of length 1 1/2m each. How many small
rods can be cut ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

16=2×2×2×2

20=2×2×5

Maximum length of the piece that has to be cut=H.C.F of 16m and 20m

Now HCF of 16 and 20 is 4

∴ Required length=4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

4 rods

Step-by-step explanation:

length of long rod 6 m

length of small rod 1.5m

no of rods = length of long rod/ length of small rod

= 6/1.5

= 4

therefore. no of rods=4
