Question

a rope 15m long was cut into pieces 1/2m long. to teach tying of knots of scouts. how many pieces ware cut ?

Answer 1

Suppose x pieces were cut.

So, x of 1/2 = 15

x × 1/2 = 15

So x = 15×2 = 30

Hence 30 pieces were cut…

Answer 2

LENGTH OF ROPE = 15CM

LENGTH OF ROPE CUT FROM 15CM LONG ROPE = 1/2M

NUMBER OF ROPE THAT CAN BE CUT FROM 15CM LONG ROPE = 15/1/2

= 30
