Question

a rope is 5×2/3 m long. it is cut in to two pieces. the length of one piece is 2×1/4. what is the length of the other piece?​

Answer 1

Answer:

11 ³/12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

given length of the rope = 5⅔m

first we have to convert it into proper fraction.

= 17/3m

length of one of it's pieces = 2¼cm = 9/4cm

let the other piece of the rope be x.

» 9/4 + x = 17/3m

» x = 17/3 - 9/4

» x = (17 × 4)/(3 × 4) - (9 × 3)/(4 × 3)

» x = 68/12 - 21/12

» x = (68 - 21)/12

» x = 47/12 = 11³/12cm

hence the Length of the other piece is 11 ³/12cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10/3 is the length of the rope. It is cut into two if one is 2/4 or 1/2. So other will be. =10/3-1/2. Which is equal to =20-3/6=17/6.
